Two years ago, I wanted to smoke a fresh ham, and the butcher wouldn’t sell just one half of the ham, so I just bought the whole thing and had them cut it in half. Stuck in 11 pound piece in the freezer wrapped as well as I could and cling wrap and a big Ziploc bag and even try to remove the air from it. I end up not being able to smoke it over the weekend because it rained all weekend. So the meat has sat in the bottom of my fridge for nine days including the fall time which was probably three days or so. Should I go ahead and smoke it or just toss it? I hate to waste it, but I also don’t want to eat it if it’s been on safe from sitting in the fridge fault for five days or so.
