Smoking in cloth bags?

Yes I've used several styles on loins, shoulders and hams. The best tip is to visualize how the product is going into the bag.... not put them on until your brining or curing is complete, and take them off shortly after your smoking is complete. This is a picnic ham and I wanted the wide end to go in the bag first so it would look more ham-like.



These are the various types I have. The large mesh are #28 socks. The fine mesh are pre-cut in 30" lengths and are for leg hams or large shoulder hams.
