HBH is delicious. The sweet glaze and flavor is very nice. There is no detectable smoke flavor, though. I made my last batch of pea soup with a huge HBH bone, with about two lbs of meat on it.

However, for the next batch will use a local supplier of sausage and ham, that does add smoke to its products. I've heard their hocks have a good smokey punch. But, to start I'll go with the ham bone plus some thick cut smokey bacon from a market near where I deer hunt. The bacon is sublime, and that should give a nice gentle smoke flavor to the soup.

Never tried HB smoked turkey, probably never will.
