15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him.

17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.

19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,

20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,

23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister. - Colossians 1:15-23

Old Time Smoked Picnic Ham

8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. 

9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. 

10 All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. 

11 For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great. 

12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.  - Psalm 25:8-12

1 bone in Ham, smoked ( I used one made by Smithfield)

1/2 c wood chips *optional

2 T Yellow mustard

1/4 c Brown sugar

Use a sturdy pan ( I used 2 heavy duty large foil pans), heat oven to 300 degrees.

Make a boat to hold wood chips.

Set in middle of pan.

Using a lighter, lite chips so they begin to smoke.

Set ham on rack, over wood chips.

Cover with foil, seal well but leave a place unsealed so you can see the smoke escape.

Turn on 2 eyes on your stove top, set to medium low. 

Let chips smoke pretty good.

You will be able to smell the smoke and see it.

Use pot holders to pick up pan.

Seal your place you left open.

Then place in oven.

Cook 3 hours.

Take out, mix mustard and brown sugar.

Smear over Ham.

Recover with foil and cook an additional 2 hours.

So juicy, smoky and yummy!
