    I'd asked my son what he and his girlfriend would like for the meat course for Thanksgiving and he said that his girlfriend wanted the smoke cooked ham. So here it is going in.

    I've got it hanging under the rafters cooling and will actually bake it tomorrow then use my home canned ham stock along with dripping to make the gravy for the stuffing. (It's 29 degs F outside with a slight breeze which is much colder than any frig I have).

    I'll try to post a picture when it's ready to carve.

    I'm really liking these pellets that I soak in water and become sawdust. The put out a nice smoke for a lot longer than the wood chips ever did.

    I have been experimenting with a dry curing setup. Years ago I tried to dry cure sausage and it didn’t work because I didn’t have the right conditions to do it properly. Since then the internet has provided some technology that wasn’t available my first time around. Enter the Inkbird. It powers a mini fridge on and off to keep it between 55 and 60 degrees. And it measures the humidity, kicking a small fan on and off as it rises and falls. These saucisson sec are coming along nicely. It’ll probably be another two weeks before they have lost enough moisture to consider them done.

    I forget the model number but you have to be sure that it does both temp and humidity. I can find the box here and will post the model number shortly.

    Ok that's the model in the link I posted. Looks like $75 plus shipping. I tried to buy it but when I click on PayPal their system seems to freeze. I'll give it a go later.

    Thanks for the input, it's very much appreciated.

    I’ve been using a mini fridge. Two cups of water along with the meat has the humidity around 80%. No real need for a humidifier. So as the humidity rises, I use it to trigger a computer fan that is on the door to circulate the air. Then as the temp rises and the fridge kicks on, the humidity begins to drop and the fan shuts off. Then the cycle repeats. It seems to be working well. I will know in a week or two.
