I tried my hand at a ham from scratch, I researched it and came up with a brine I was quite pleased with. I let the roast marinate for 2 days (a 6 pound shoulder picnic roast)
I took it out of the marinade, patted it dry then smoked it for 4 hours, It tasted amazing!!!!!
I am doing it all over again with a 14 pounder this weekend at camp. We are having a bunch of family and friends over for our Canadian Thanksgiving. I will take some better photos then and post the recipe here afterwards.
