I am smoking a "uncooked ham" tomorrow (first time for the ham and smoking in cold weather. High of 48 here). It should be fun. I covered it with a Pineapple ice cream topping and then my favorite rub. It is setting in the ref'g overnight. I will let you know.

Sounds interesting. Good Luck

Howd it turn out......did you brine it?

[Kevin]

It turned out great! I did not brine or inject it. I tried to post some pictures, but they are too big and I need to figure out some of this computer science.

I had a tough time keeping the temp on the smoker because of the cool weather. I guess I am going to have to find an insulated smoker so I can smoke year around here in the mountains. It took about 6 hours to get the internal temp up to 165 degrees.

The best commentary is that the Thanksgiving meal eaters polished it off and left the turkey.

Nice

moving blankets.... they make decent insulators when draped over the smoking chamber.
on the pics, maybe put them on something like photobucket and put the thumbnails here or a link would work too.

hot water tank insulation is something i have heard

[Kevin]

Thanks for the suggestions. I had also read that a welding blanket would work very well and I don't have to worry about getting too close to the firebox, but they are rather pricey.

Using pineapple ice cream topping as a glaze sounds interesting.  How did that work for you?

It tasted great, but the topping was hard to keep on the ham. I am going to smoke another this week and try it with pineapple jam if I can find it.

I used pineapple jam for my ham on Thanksgiving and it stuck to the hamp real good.

I bought some topping already to try on my X-mas ham...YUM!

Mix with rub to thicken! FYI- Moving blankets will not burn if they are the cotton style- temps are too low!

[Kevin]

Thanks for the great Ideas! I used the same Ice cream topping, over the top of a heavy rub and wrapped it for 12 hours...maybe 10. then I smoked it using an old wool blanket on the smoking chamber (offset smoker) and  it worked great...even in the snow. Thanks again!
