Good info Bear.... Next week is another good time to look for some good deal on hams. After New Years, I was paying as low as $1.08 to 88 cents per pound for smoked hams. I picked up four of them throughout the month and kept them (frozen in pails) in the pole barn. Once I had room in the freezer and the weather started to change, I was doing some serious smoking.
Thanks to you I got a good supply of sliced ham for lunches, chunks for split pea soup, smaller pieces for scrambled eggs and ham, ground ham for ham spread and deviled eggs and dried ham pieces to be used like bacon bits..
Doubled smoked ham is $3.89 per pound right now. I got my double smoked ham for 88 cent a pound and ended up with some ground scraps for the cats a smoked ham bone for the dog.
Another double smoked ham made the Bearcarver way..
Thanks Bear...
