Title: Smoked Hocks
Post by Bear on Apr 29^th, 2022 at 5:05am

They had pork legs on special last week so we bought three for the freezer. Cut the hocks of and decided to smoke them to use in bean dishes and soup.

Brined them for three days then one day exposed in the fridge.
Yesterday I smoked them At 110 c to a 65 c internal, about 1.5 hrs. Used a mixture of apple and maple pellets in the A mazon maze. Came out looking excellent.

We tried one and a very nice flavour, not the intense smoke of wood chips but very very nice indeed.

Bought a small boneless leg of pork the other day and decided to try a ham. Brined it then smoked with apple and maple chips.

Family says its a winner with half gone sampling and the daughter stashing a pile in her fridge. Will go a couple more before doing a leg ham for Christmas.

Had the grandson over and we did some baked beans, would be the equal to Heinz no problems. Cheers Robert.
