I had my first pig butchered and I had a couple of hams cured I believe they are just salt cured. What I want to know is would it be ok to still smoke them? Or would it be too salty?
 
People around here double smoke hams all the time. great stuff. I use a basic pork rub on the outside, and smoke at 230 to 240 until the ham is 145 internal. When the ham is at 130 I start putting on a glaze of Honey, Pineapple juice, and ground cloves. 3 or 4 applications is enough. This is also assuming that the ham was not only cured but was cooked as well before you got it.
 
If I were you I would find out how they were cured, with just salt or with nitrates. Salt brining is not cured.
