Why not just check out the Smithfield website and check out all of
their products for yourself. They offer a multitude of ham products
either cooked or uncooked. All are cured. They have two retail stores.
Neither are in California. I find no reference to any variety of Smithfield
ham peculiar to a particular area. Certainly there is no reference to
a Texas or California variety. If you really need to learn how to cook
a Smithfield ham, perhaps Smithfield might know something about
it. In all the years I have been reading this group, I have never read
about anyone extolling the virtues of barbecuing a Smithfield ham.
There have been a multitude of "Picnic" hams cooked, but frankly,
I don't remember anyone ever talking about cooking a whole ham.
Most of us don't start with a cured product to cook outdoors. I
can't even imagine why I might want to.
