speaking of smoked ham...what temp?

[olive123]

what is the rule for ham? I know with butt 165 cooked but slice and 195-205 pulled.
I want to try one for moms day.

Depends on whether you get it fully or partially cooked. A FULLY cooked ham is sterile in the original package. It only needs to hit 140 for half an hour. A partially cooked ham needs to get to 160 for half an hour.

Check out BigDog's post in Smoked Ham thread, he had good results.

Actually it should hit 140 :D

the 40-140 window is where bacteria breeds best.

So, get it up over 140 and have at it. If it's not fully cooked then 165 or so would be best..
