How about brushing them with some oil before you wrap them in foil and
reheat them? I suspect you will never get them just like from the Fair. I
sometimes use smoked legs and smoked wings when I make bean soup or turnip
greens rather than a smoked ham hock. Maybe (blasphemy) brush them with a
little liquid smoke? And reheat them not wrapped up, just on foil in the
oven? My thoughts, for what they are worth.
