Step by Step Method

Step 1

Bring all the ingredients except for garlic and pork to a boil and simmer until salt is dissolved.

Step 2

Allow cooling completely and pour into a clean plastic bucket.

Step 3

Place the pork roast and garlic into the bucket and place a pot lid over the roast to hold it down into the brine.

Step 4

Place in the refrigerator and let sit for 7 to 10 days. (The longer it sits the saltier it gets)

Step 5

Remove the roast from the bucket and pat it dry.

Step 6

Place the roast in the prepared smoker and smoke at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 hours.

Step 7

The ham must reach an internal temp of 160 degrees Fahrenheit and will continue to cook after that temperature is reached.
