You definitely need one day per 2 LBS of meat. If you dont have it, you can try cutting into the shank and butt portion as one of the other brethren suggested. If you start by tomorrow, you should be ok. Again all depends on the size, cut the pieces down so the cure can penetrate quicker and inject. It will be the best ham you have ever had!

Re: Curing a ham
I'm heading to the butcher now to pick up the pig. Need to find a big enough food grade container and the spices for the cure/brine. Plan to have that sucker soaking this evening. To inject or not to inject....that is tbe question.

For storage i typically get a food grade bucket from a local bbq store (they get their sauce in it). wash it out and then use it for brining everything. They are free and can be used for just about anything. I just called my store to get two for dog food storage (new puppy as of this weekend lol). Ive not used the HD buckets not because there is anything wrong with them but more so because the wife would freak cause i couldnt prove they are food safe. here is some info on TVWB site:

I've also had luck before at a local butcher shop which cures their own meats. You could also call the butcher who's carving the hog and seeing if they have any.

you can sub out TQ but you will also have to remove some of the salt (if using my recipe). Try calling a butcher shop that makes their own sausage or whole foods or a restaurant supply place.

It's also not totally required if you can't find it. You won't get that nice pink color but flavor shouldn't be affected. At least this is what I was told by my butcher.

Re: Curing a ham
I must be looking in the wrong places. I'm at Target, , in the spices isle, by the salts (iodized, kosher & pickling) but no "curing salt"...not even TQ
