Those look far superior than what's sold in grocery stores, Pitmaster. Glad I found you; I've learned far more than I imagined. Again, thanks for all you do!!
I have been seriously thinking about smoking my own ham hocks rather than buying them already smoked. I have never heard anyone say they smoked their own hocks; so, I thought I was crazy! Then I came across this video! Thank you!! I'm definately going to try this.
Ham Hocks/Shank. I brine it for 24 hours, dry it out and score the rind. Rub with slt and let it sit overnight. brush off excess salt and put it, standing on it's end at 450 for 1 hour and reduce to 325 for one hour. The "crackling" is worth it. I'm fortunate to live in an hispanic neighborhood. If I'm patient, I can get great pork bellies, hocks and locally grown shoulder.
And to think there are millions of Americans out there, that their idea of a good meal is a Big Mac🍔, Pizza 🍕 ? God how I love ❤️ stupid people! Hammocks & Pinto anytime 👌 Thanks for the video!
Brother, I discovered you last night. Been up all night binging you videos! Now my wife is mad because she had to sleep alone last night😉 Best and most informative on youtube. Let's keep "getting it on" and sticking around. Southern Style!!!!
I have not had ham hocks and beans in years. Today I had a craving for it. I love beans. I have never had rice with it, however. Tomorrow I am going to make this. TY
Well we're a good few thousand of kilometers away but we have a very similar recipe for smoked ham hock, I'm making a batch up in two days as soon as they are ready. I don't smoke them myself as it's just easier as farmers tend to have smokers anyways. What we do is sweat the root vegies- onions, leeks, parsnips, garlic (of course) until they slightly carnalize before we add a splash of garum to simmer for a bit then rum to deglaze it. Add them to the beans that are simmering, toss the hocks in the in the pan just to crisp up the skin and toss them in set it to simmer. After a few hours take out the meat and skin and debone it and chop the meat before it goes back in the pot. (The bones are good to feed to chickens but not dogs as they tend to shatter.) After that it is just how much spices one wants to add or how much a emulsion blender is in play. I add a bit of the rinds taken from the hocks and baked in oven to be crispy as a really meaty garnish. Cuz, why not.
One of my Faves. I just luv ur cooking/smoking styles. Now this took the food All the Way to a New Level. Ur Presentation Skills r just so Gracious as well. Secondly ur Equipment is Top Notch! Do Not know how I came upon this Channel, but I am elated that I did. Keep up the Pristine work, and Hope to one day see u in the Wind! Thank u for sharing!
I cooked pinto beans in a cook off, I smoked my own ham hocks and put them in the beans. They were amazing. I watched closely as a judge tasted my beans, he spit them out. Here is Texas almost everyone here in Texas uses bacon in their beans. Judge had no idea. Lol
I alway thought i was robbing the beans when i ate the ham hock out of them I never thought about putting in 4 of them Great Recipe!! Mine was little Kroger ham bones also those big ones look so good.
I have not cured my own yet but smoked some fresh for black eye peas last time and was delicious. I got red kidney beans for this go around or some chili
New to your channel found it 3 days ago and i must say I like how you smoke and cook your food different, man that looks great 👍🏼 👌🏽 I've tuned in to a lot of your videos new subscriber here for sure
@@bbqsouthernstyle I have bought two chickens cut them up clean them up just as you did threw them on the 22-in Weber they should be done shortly hopefully I did them right thanks again and lol that's from a different video
This is so interesting. Is this a typical Southern dish? The beans and hocks look AMAZING. I can only imagine how they taste. But the addition of rice is kind of surprising. I don't know why. Also, do you ever crisp up the skin of the hock after cooking it in the pot?
Thank you, this is kind of my creation I never see anyone make it. I do put them in the deep fryer after the pressure cooker at times when I want to be bad lol.
@@bbqsouthernstyle Do you have a recommendation for the serving bowl you used for the ham hocks and beans? I need to buy a couple. They hold lots of goodies!
at what temperature does it turn from "cold smoke" to "hot smoking" ? Also, is it possible to freeze the smoked ham hocks, or would that ruin the taste or the texture? Great setup that you have there and this is a very informative video. Thanks.
This is amazing, thank you for it. Just wanted to ask, when you say ‘slowly bring up the heat’ what did you mean? What is the cooking temperature? Is it 225, 250, 275 F? And how long it should roughly take for the slow cooking/smoking part? Cheers
Where do you get those big ham hocks? My butcher gives me small ones with very little meat, so I switched to smoked turkey legs ( for beans, greens, etc)……. But I love the flavor of a ham hock!
I buy them uncured then cure them myself. When you buy hocks cured now days, they have no meat so you may want to cure them yourself for a great product.
One good thing I'm learning from this channel is that I don't need a lot of heavy seasonings when I cook. Thanks!
Any time

Lol, good stuff. Sadly, most judges lack good judgement. Thanks for watching.
Looks amazing. I have the propane version of the Masterbuilt. May have to break down and get the electric version. Thumbs-up 👍
$199 40'' at amazon can't go wrong

Never liked the pre- smoked ones from the market. Yours looks great!
Thanks 👍

LOL
Hi, another great video. I didn't catch what kind of beans.

I watch this on my phone sitting on the couch and I felt like I couldn’t go anywhere
Lol
YUMMY
Thank you one of my favorite comforting meals.
I have not cured my own yet but smoked some fresh for black eye peas last time and was delicious. I got red kidney beans for this go around or some chili

Excellent cook brother what kind of wood chips you use
Thank you, pecan and red oak
Ham hocks are extremely hard to find around here (north Texas). Where do you get yours?
I get mine from my local butcher in Ga and cure them myself like in the video.
@@bbqsouthernstyle Will pork hocks work just as well?
yes sir
@@bbqsouthernstyle Do you have a recommendation for the serving bowl you used for the ham hocks and beans? I need to buy a couple. They hold lots of goodies!
I live in Dallas - one of the only places I know of that sells uncooked ham hocks is Hirsches Meats in Plano
How many grills/cookers/smokers do you have?!!! Wow!!!
70 plus
at what temperature does it turn from "cold smoke" to "hot smoking" ? Also, is it possible to freeze the smoked ham hocks, or would that ruin the taste or the texture? Great setup that you have there and this is a very informative video. Thanks.
cold smoke under 100 deg and yes you can freeze the hocks vac seal works great
Man you have all the toys!
Yes I do lol

Please review this video slowly. Everything you need in the video.
Think i just gained few pounds just watching. Looks amazing.
lol Thank you and don't worry just watching is zero calories.
I love your channel. Love your good. Love your hat. Please. Where did you purchase it?
Thank you love you watching and the hat a friend gave me on vacation at Native American reservation.

Would you do this same method if you wanted to do some turkey
No Sir
New subscribe here thanks for sharing
Thanks for subbing!
When you say Gallon of water, US Gallon or European Gallon?
US gallons 3.7985 liters
Zoweee!!! 😊
Thanks
Why cold smoke?
Adds Smoke flavor without cooking it.
omg
Gotta love the Hocks right!!!!!
There aren't any stores near me that sell raw ham hocks. I hate this small town.
You can order anything online. Don't let that stop you. I live in a small town too.
Where do you get those big ham hocks? My butcher gives me small ones with very little meat, so I switched to smoked turkey legs ( for beans, greens, etc)……. But I love the flavor of a ham hock!
I buy them uncured then cure them myself. When you buy hocks cured now days, they have no meat so you may want to cure them yourself for a great product.
Do have your own restaurant?
No sir that would take the fun out of cooking for me.
