As you might remember from a previous post,I am going to attempt to smoke some fresh ham. My wife raised a question I hadn't thought of and need some help with.I want to separate the ham into butt and shank portions for eating. Do I have to cure/smoke the whole ham and then cut it or can I get it separated first before I smoke them? We are concerned about the large surface of meat that will be exposed by the cutting and how it will affect the final product. Any help/advice will be appreciated by both of us.
