jimmy's smoked ham
It doesn't get better than hickory smoked! We have hickory trees on our property so we cut our own. It's fun taking a stroll in the woods to look for hickory especially when all the leaves have fallen from the trees. Jimmy built a very unique smoker/grill, you can smoke several pieces of meat at one time. BTW you don't have to have a home built smoker for this to work. Placing a turkey breast slightly under the ham and letting the drippings from the ham drip on to the breast, adds a wonderful flavor to the turkey. This ham soaked in coke alway turns out awesome!
