I decided to cure some bacon and ham for Christmas. My neighbor wanted a ham and bacon as well, so I made two 18 lb hams and 22 lbs of bacon. The hams were cured with Morton's Sugar cure (I like to add maple sugar as well). It was cured for 7 days, then smoked at 225° until the internal temp was 145°. The hams were in a brine solution of 3% Morton Tender Quick and 2% brown sugar by total weight of water and pork, I also added various spices. They were in the solution for 14 days and smoked at 240° until reaching an internal temp of 145°.
