Pork Butt/Picnic Ham 8/8/15
Had an extra boneless pork butt and decided to make a ham. Simple brown sugar cure for 2 weeks. Out of the cure and hung overnite. Then rubbed with honey and a mixture of California ham spices & sweet heat. Cold smoked for 36hrs with a mixture of hickory, apple, and cherry. Then applied 160 degrees of heat for about 24hrs to internal of 155.
Out of the cure
All rubbed and into the smoker
Out of the smoker and resting
First slice
Time to eat

Mark , really nice. Dang that is a pretty piece of meat. Wet or dry cure? How did you do a cold smoke with the ambient temp being 110°. I have been smoking with no fire. LOL. CF
OK, get over it, you lost. God bless America

It was a simple wet brine. It was a cold type smoke, that's why I included the ambient. Caught a couple of days with the temps in the low 100's. And my Backwoods has convection which helps to keep heat from building up in the chamber. And I put the Amaze tube in the bottom fire box. Have also put a pan of ice in the smoke chamber.

With a finished product like that, I never doubted that you had everything under control. I love the glaze. CF
