Title: Ham Shank always fatty?
Post by: Tim in PA on April 22, 2014, 08:06:59 AM
I smoked a ham shank for Easter and it seemed excessively fatty. Is that typical for the shank portion? If it is, I'm sticking to the butt section. I have another shank in the freezer but I'm not very anxious to cook it after this last one.

I also just smoked the hell out of a different one 'till it fell apart pulled......
