I started smoking hams a few years ago. I have a cheater smoker (Treager knockoff) that does a great job. They turn out as moist and tender as can be. I usually rub mine with olive oil, salt, garlic salt, fresh cracked pepper, rosemary and a dash of cayenne pepper. Don't short it on the seasoning. I let that sit for 24hrs and then let her rip. DO NOT CUT THE MEAT TILL IT HAS COOLED DOWN. I got one that I'm going to try and brine and do a sugar glaze on around Thanksgiving. We'll see how that one turns out.

Curious myself, let us know how it turns out.

Things those hams will be tougher than?

Ding!, Right!

[Turd Ferguson]

throw away the ham and eat the metal pan when finished.

Sound like yall know how to fuck a ham up.

[Hoggin]

Brine. Rinse. Dry very well. Sear very hot. Then low and super slow.

ive had deer hams that were wrapped in foil and cooked on a damn gas grill that were edible, so damn i wouldnt think the orion would fuck one up that bad.

I am right here with ya, DDS. I aim to try one soon too. Wonder how they'll do wrapped in foil inside the cooker? Worth a shot. I'm thinking brine at a minimum, maybe even inject moisture. I bet they won't be as tough as you might think.

I think it'll come out fine.

Adam find one of the hams these people do. I don't think I've ever found one better, and it makes me want to try to pull it off.

I'd definitely inject some marinade into em.

[dixiedeerslaya]

thats what im thinking simple. ive had deer shoulders that were wrapped in foil along with some bacon for fat and flavor. cooked on the same pit with a whole hog and they always turn out good.. i would think a ham would be better than shoulders. i think im gonna try it. maybe one wrapped in foil and the other not wrapped. definately brine. maybe inject.

If you're gonna wrap it you may as well stick it in the oven or a crock pot.

This and cover with bacon, especially on the cut ends of the ham.

It not only was edible, but quite damned tasty. Had a heap of sandwiches off of it too.

FWIW, I do it with yearlings, not full grown deer and also used a gas grill, no orion.

God made buck fawns to be turned into smoked venison ham. Give it a good rub with olive oil and spices, wrap it in bacon and cook it low and slow.

And...I wear flip flops, religiously. I hope all this doesnt get out in the be a man thread.

The ONLY thing I have ruint on the BGE was a 40 lb doe ham I hit with the truck on the way to hunt one morning. I put a pork butt top of it and one butt be side it. 12 hrs later I tasted it and threw it off the back of the deck.

If'n you figure it out, please share how.
