    Smoking A Ham Hock/Leg Roast

    I am am one step before this post

    I bought a half hog last year and it's pretty much gone except the 2 smoked ham hocks. I have nothing against them, but I've never cooked hocks before. Do I treat them like ham? A survey of online recipes is either ham hocks and collard greens or various bean soups. I'm okay with either, but want to get the wisdom of the pit.


    …. In that I want to add two small leg roasts (under two# each) to today’s cook. I slacked them out on the fridge. Do I season? Smoke plain? I just want them for future greens, beans, soups, etc as suggested by the post from radshop

      When I bought a whole hog a couple of years ago, I cured the hocks like I would a ham and smoked them with hickory. Ended up being great in collard greens and also on their own.

    Look at you go! And me getting mine already smoked... smh...

    BTW, what I ended up doing with mine is putting the hocks with seasonings in the Instant Pot. Then I separated the meat and vacuum sealed & froze it. And I strained the broth and pressure canned it. So I've got the ham and the broth for whenever I get around to making soup. (probably sometime in the 2040s the way things are going)

      What internal temp am I shooting for? They brined for 48 hours.
