Ham Hocks on grill

[wyd]

Did ham hocks two different times in the last few weeks and have to say it is to me the best tasting ham I have ever had.  Crispy outside with nice sweet and juicy ham on the inside.  I did a simple salt water brine and injected the hocks about 12 hours before I start grilling them.  I used water, salt and then added some garlic power, pepper some apple juice.  I let them sit over night.

I put them on the grill for 5 hours at 250 to 275 degrees.  I normally baste them every 30 minutes and flip them over at that time.  If you want something a little different to eat and like ham (especially ham that is around a bone which is much sweeter) then you should make them sometime.  Out of all the things I have grilled my parents like these the best.  I'm lucky to have a place that stocks nice big ham hocks and not those little wimpy ones Lol.  If your around the Harrisburg Pa area I buy them from Heagy's Meats at Saturdays Market.  They are only open on Saturdays.  Its a flea market indoor and outdoor year round.

I've been wanting to smoke some ham hocks thanks for sharing !

I'd put a couple in a pot of brown beans , serve over fried potatoes with cornbread and it's pure heaven in a bowl

When you say ham hocks are they cured? Either way they look fantastic!

They where cured and smoked.  No need to add additional smoke to them although I sometimes add a small piece of Oak, Hickory or Mesquite as I do like a medium to heavy smoke flavor when I grill.

Here they're before I put them on the grill.

Its like doing Ribs as they take 5 hours or so but the reward is well worth the wait.
