Thanks Disco.

I think I did a pretty good tie job for my first.
Don't thank me. I have been afraid to try a full butt ham. You are trailblazing for me, I thank you!

I  have been afraid too but you got to bite the bullet some time.

If I can do it I know you can.  
 
Looks good man & nice tie job for your first time

  I thought you were planning a whole bone in ham from a rear leg when I got your message - this should cure for you in time with no problems. Since this is your first one I'm gonna predict that you & your family will be pleasantly surprised.
 
Okay c Farmer you inspired me, I was going to do one but then didn't get to the store to get one. Went for dinner today and there was a Sam's close by so I swung by and picked up a twin pack 14 pounds of smithfield butts at 2.48/# a bit pricey from what I am used to. Came home and mixed up the brine and injected them in many areas and angles and they are resting in the garage fridge for the until the saturday before Easter, I am going to smoke and pull mine as I have done this before and really enjoyed it and it a big change from the same old pulled pork.

Thanks for the kick in the Butt.
 
Ha Ha Ha. Your welcome.


Post a thread on it.
 
I LOVE HAM!!! I am hoping that you are very happy with your ham CF. If so you have given me the courage to do my own so I can enjoy hammy goodness all the time!!

You should try it anyway. Alot of help here if you need it.
 
UPDATE......

Ok not really.   Its just still sitting in the bucket.  It looks lonely.

I feel the need to stir the brine or flip the meat.

Man I hate waiting.

I understand they really like being sang to, as well as being read to. But it has to be a pig song or book to really make 'em squirt those ham juices in and out. Sing that song about big butts!
