Carl adds

Having a smoke house I tend to dry the toms in the oven for 3 hours at 120 degrees with some chopped herbs & a little rape seed oil before placing them in the smoker for 3 days. I make the cured ham with a molasses cure mix for 6 weeks before putting it into the smoker for 6 months, it comes out a lovely ebony colour & the taste is quit exceptional, like a Suffolk ham.
