Making Smoke Ham

[Joykimmy]

You've got to think of what they use to cure the meat hence the difference. This still has the texture of meat what we get from the store is a whole different story.

The salt, sugar and spice mix acts as the cure. It's easier to smoke small amounts in a wok.

smoking on a wok?  never seen that before

[Joykimmy]

Thanks. To cut down smoking time and avoid ham from drying out I found that cooking it in the pressure cooker then smoking it keeps it more moist inside.

I used hickory wood chips to smoke with and had the exhaust fan on to avoid smoking the whole house.
