How do you smoke an Easter Ham???

[LindellProStaf]

So do any of you smoke an Easter Ham? I love ham. So what is a good plan for doing the ham???

I haven't smoked a ham myself but my bro-in law did one last summer but the process he used would have had to been started about a month ago. He started with a whole raw leg that he cured for a few weeks ahead of time. Once it was cured it was smoked and then finished in the oven.

In all honesty I don't think it helped the ham at all. It was still good but a normal ham done in the oven was still better IMHO and it took 30 less days to accomplish.

Just buy a cured and/ or smoked ham on sale this week. Instead of heating procedure in oven do it in the smoker. Doesn't get any easier than that and 10x the taste of the oven.

I buy a bone in ham that's already cured and smoked and I just put it over coals a couple of hours before we eat. I mop a honey and orange juice glaze over it and it turns out great.

I just shave very small pieces off the ham, dry the pieces in the microwave, put them in the bowl of the pipe, tamp them down carefully, light the pipe and smoke away. It fills the house with a pleasing scent.

I buy a bone-in ham (not spiral sliced) and cut 1"x 1" slits about a 1/2". I stick whole cloves all over the top of the ham, and then either spread brown sugar or maple syrup over the top. I then toothpick whole pineapple slices over the top as well.

I preheat my smoker at 225 and then plan for a 1/2 hr per lb. I've used apple, cherry, peach, hickory, mesquite all turned out great. I'll be doing this on Sunday again. You can't buy a big enough ham, the leftovers are fabulous!

One thing I do with leftovers is cut the ham into thin strips and put them in the dehydrator for a couple hours. Makes delicious ham jerky.

Made the double smoked ham for Easter today mopped it with a honey and Peach flavored Birddog Bourbon it tasted great I don't think I'll ever go back to cooking half ham in the oven again! I cooked it indirect on the Weber kettle with cherry wood mixed in the coals it, took about 2 1/2 hours to finish.
