Smoking a pre-cooked bone in Ham

[reinhard1]

i did this last year and the ham was better than heating in the oven. should of been a no-brainer. lot's of ham's on sale this week. 98 cents a pound seems to be the average sale price for a half a bone in ham. Hillshire, cure 81's and other "name" brand hams are higher.

i like the 98cent hams, especialy the price. all i do is put the ham in the smoker at around 225 degrees till the internal temp gets over 145 deg. dont realy need to get to 160 since they have already been cooked/smoked. usualy takes about 3 hours for me. i have used hickory chips but will try cherry chips this time around.

i dont put anything on the ham except i put a foil tent on the ham and put the ham in a foil throw away pan so it doesn't get dried out. i'm going to spray the ham once in awhile with apple juice and some brandy this year. see what happens. what are some different ways you "double smoke"your hams. good luck.

Good reminder. I've been picking up 2 hams every time they go on sale. If I'm gonna smoke 1 why not two? Same gas use for me. Anyway, thet are way better smoked and I use it for lunch meat and freeze in meal size portions for a quick dinner when I'm running short of time. Misting helps alot, I like a mustard baste and dry rub shake too once and a while otherwise I do mine just like mentioned. Yum.

I sure like your way of thinking RH.

I just cooked up one of those .98 cent Cub hams yesterday. The original plan was to throw it on the grill but with the nice day I just had too many other things to do so it went into the oven. I just cooked it straight up, no toppings, just a cup of water, two hours at 325, ten minutes of standing time, it was very good, moist and perfect.

Can't beat the price either, for $9 we had a good meal, I have a tupperware of sliced ham for sandwichs, should be enough for all week, I ended up with a doggie container of fatty parts, plus a ham bone with lots of meat left on that I plan on making Split Pea soup out of in the crock pot - will report back on that later.

Four weeks ago I cooked up my last ham, from last year's 98cent deals. I don't have a smoker so I just tossed it into the oven as-is with a rib rub around the outside. It cooked about 2.5 hours and was great.

I didn't think of using any tinfoil hats or cups of water to keep it moist, but it didn't seem to be dry. Maybe I'll have to give it the pepsi challenge some day

Reinhard you are the man. That is exactly what I am going to do for our Easter ham. I love ham and smoking it sounds GREAT! Now I have to come up with some sides......
