Cold Smoking a Gammon

Cold Smoking a Gammon

Postby RidleyRumpus » Thu Apr 07, 2016 2:32 pm

I have just testes my cold smoker conversion and I think I am now ready to cold smoke something.

I will start on a few mackeral, and suggestions on how to prep them would be much appreaciated.

However I do have a Gammon joint I want to smoke, any suggestions on how to prepare, cure, brine would be very much appreaciated.

Thanks

Ridley

Ouch, that sounds painful... :shock:

I don't have any suggestions on prepping the gammon, I just couldn't resist the juvenile humor :wink:

OK, thanks for that.

So once it is cured. What about smoking?

How long should I do it for etc?

When I did it, I cold smoked it three days for about ten hours each day after curing.
