    Fresh Ham Roast

    We purchase a side of pork.  I never have any trouble using it up until I get to the ham roasts, which I have not had them cure.  No matter how I try to cook them (crock pot, oven roast) they turn out dry.  Suggestions?  I do have a MES that I could use.  Do I need to do some brining or something?

    MES Not producing smoke

    I've used my MES on three or four occasions.  Most of those were to smoke chicken on high heat (275F).  No problem--lots of smoke.  I also did ribs with no problem, I can't remember the temp I used.  Today, I set out to do a pork shoulder at 215 for 6 hours.  By this I mean that I set the smoker...
