I love ham, and double smoke a few per year.
I usually buy the Cooks butts in season, (Christmas/Easter), and have purchased only one or two of the spiral sliced type. The one I picked up two weeks ago was a good price, and the flavor was good, but has a lot of 1/4" or so bone chips.
My question is: is this an anomaly, or have more of you noticed this problem?
They are real potential tooth breakers.
I think I'm done with the spiral cut if that is a known feature, as it was a little less moist than usual too, although that might have been the cook's fault.
