Now that is awesomeness right there. My Dad's Uncles in rural Mississippi all had smoke shacks out back. Loved going to see them. I remember Uncle Arthur taking his knife out and slicing a piece of ham off while in the smoke house. I have never yet been able to duplicate that. Wish I knew how to build my own.

I have been watching hours & hours of You-Tube videos and reading on how to make old school country salt cured hams, something that I've wanted to do since I was little. Problem is, where I live the temp & humidity doesn't work in my favor. All of the videos that I've watched are from up North where it gets cold and stays cold for several months to begin the process. I'm going to have to build a walk in cooler or modify a fridge to do it here on the coast. It's on my list. According to my knowledge, it takes about a year to cure a country ham. If you get it wrong it's trash. I am excited about doing it, someday.

Pretty slick!
