Ugly Drum Dave Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi Jay, Nice looking joint you have there. if it was me I would remove the skin (save it for Crackling) and trim to reduce the fat cap but be careful not remove it all as that’s where you get flavour and the rendered fat keeps the meat moist. I am looking forward to see how it turns out for you. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Bit late to the party. I would remove the skin as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Lay skin side up in your smoker, let it render some of the fat out. Then under a grill to crisp the crackling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
