No im notsharingsome but needing some basic rules and guidelines. Thanksgiving I tried to smoke a ham but it did not turn out like I wanted or thought it should.
I have a homemade smoker/bbq trill with smoke stack on the side. Air vents on the side of the fire box and a way to controle the amount of smoke that comes out of the stack.
I started by soaking split apple wood overnight. I started my fire with some plain firewood and when I had a nice bed of coals I added some of the apple.
I placed the ham in a pan with h20 and a few spices. I made sure to not to let it get dry. Let it smoke for about a hr.
The pan and the outer layer of the ham had a sticky film on it. Why?
Any help ?
