Gone But Not Forgotten
My Granddaddy always had a smoke house with the salt box in it. I have helped many time with getting them hams in the salt box and then get them hung up for six months of so. I can still see my Granddaddy with his Barlow cutting a slice off of a ham in the smoke house and eating it. He would either say, This one ready to eat, and on a rare occasion, he would say this one needs a few more day. I help a guy up here smoke hams, bacon and sausage every year and he is good, but he aint as good as my Granddaddy was.

Same here. I still remember the smell walking into the smokehouse. My grandpa had the knack.

I'm 62 and that tin has been on that smokehouse since before I was born. It don't leak a drop to this day.

M dad sent me about 15 packs of Hobes Sugar Cured Country Ham about 10 years ago and it was fine eating. I like the saltier hams but the wiff and chillens really dug into these.
