\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My contribution to this year’s Family Thanksgiving Dinner was two Hams.\u00a0 I don’t normally buy Shank Portion Hams but given the price of food these days and a savings of 60\u00a2 to $1.40 per pound over other Hams it prompted me to give the Shank Portion a try.\u00a0 Besides, doesn’t everything simply taste that much better when it cooked on a Wood Pellet BBQ smoker-Grill!?<\/p>\n

First thing I noticed about the Shank Portion Ham was that the pig skin was still on the Shank.\u00a0 At 325\u00baF it caused the skin to be charred and crispy … some might think it was burned due to it’s black appearance but the Ham itself was simply fantastic\u00a0 \"Shocked\"\u00a0 \"Big<\/p>\n

“Ready to Eat” Hickory<\/a> Smoked Shank Portion Hams in the 10 lb range for 99\u00a2\/lb.\u00a0 Check out Thanksgiving Ham 2011<\/a> for an explanation of “Ready to Eat” vs. “Ready to Cook” Hams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two Hams for Family gathering and one for a friend since space was not an issue.\u00a0 Scored the skin with a sharp boning knife.\u00a0 Scoring the Hams allow for better heat penetration and adds a nice look.\u00a0 Preheated the MAK 2 Star<\/a> General Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 325\u00baF using Pacific Pellet Hickory<\/a> BBQ Pellets.\u00a0 Directions called for 15-20 minutes per pound at 325\u00ba until the internal temperature<\/a> reaches 140\u00baF.\u00a0 Estimated in the 3 hour range for the 10 lb Hams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hams were at an IT<\/acronym> of 37\u00baF when inserted in the MAK 2 at 7 am.\u00a0 Pulled the Shank Portion Hams at 10:45 am and the internal temperatures were at 140\u00baF.\u00a0 Double wrapped the Hams in Foil, a Towel, and placed them in a Cooler for transport across town to our Son’s house.\u00a0 Despite it’s appearance, once the outer skin was removed the Shank Portion Hams were scrumptious and a big hit!!<\/p>\n
