Make sure the skin is dry
Score the skin to the fat layer but not into the meat (makes a nice crispy cracklin)
Season w/ salt, pepper, dried oregano, thyme, garlic and crushed fennel seed
Cook hot at 350 to 375F for the first 2 hours then reduce heat to 300F and finish to 190F in the hams and shoulder

Rest for 30 mins prior to carving or pulling
