DECENT BBQ
Knows what a fatty is.
Born and raised in central VA, I felt it was only natural to do a proper Smithfield Country Ham for Thanksgiving this year for my coworkers and friends who will be coming to my place for their feast this year here in Seattle, WA. I bought one of these: https://www.smithfieldmarketplace.com/product/uncooked-country-ham/country-hams
How do ya'll like to prepare these? I know I'll have to soak it for ~24 hours to draw out the salt, but was thinking about using my smoker instead of the oven for cooking it. I was planning on soaking it in water for 24 hours, changing the water every 6 hours or so, then soaking it in apple juice for another 12 hours or so before cooking on my offset smoker around 250* for a few hours. After 2-3 hours, wrapping with foil and applying sweet glaze and letting it braise until done.
Thoughts on the glaze: I have some Kosmos Q rib glaze, which might work well. I also thought about real maple syrup with some real honey. Totally open to suggestions here!
