As promised, the picnic ham!! Cured for a total of 25 days, 8.5lbs pre smoke weight.
This shot is midway, about 4 hours in at 200-225.
And this one was, well, slice shot!! The lighting made the meat look red but it was a beautiful deep pink.
Everybody tore it up! We've been munching sandwiches from what's left for a day and a half now. Lol

Re: Picnic ham
Thanks! I cured it in 2 stages. I wouldn't think it's an original idea so I can share! I dry cure it with salt for 10-15 days (or until I drop about 20% weight) then it takes a sweet bath (instead of just a plain water rinse) for another 10-15 days. After the bath, I let it sit on a rack in the fridge for 24-72 hours to air dry. It started the process at 10.34lbs and ended up on the smoker at 8.5.
