Folks I was just thrown another wrench into the gears. I was just now told that this is a spiral cut 10 pound ham so does this ham being spiral cut change the cooking method and times?

Thanks for the help

We have decided to dispense with the traditional Christmas Dinner of Turkey and Dressing and just have a good old fashioned BBQ. I will be smoking some Pork Butts, chicken, brisket and a Ham. I have never smoked a Ham before and I need some help from the group.

My grandson's girlfriend works at a local Nursng Home and they gave her a 10 pound ham for Christmas and she wants me to smoke it. I would like a good Honey Glaze Recipe that I will start brushing on about half way through the cooking process. Simce I will be smoking at around 225 to 235 degrees how long should I leave the ham in the smoker?

Thanks for the help,

Paul

Nope. the one in the link I posted was a spiral cut ham. Just stand it on end, not on it's side when smoking, like I did in the linked cook.

You will need to watch drying it out... with it being already sliced. Basically you are warming up a fully cooked product while adding smoke flavor. I like to do mine in a foil pan with loose foil over the top. I make up a root beer and jalapeno apple jelly slop and baste the ham every crown/coke or so (about 45 minutes). Gather the liquid in the foil pan and mix it with some brown sugar... simmer on the firebox to make a glaze. Apply to the ham about the last 15 to 30 min. Dealing with a lot of sugar I don't like to add too much too soon or you get a good burnt flavor (not good eats!).

Great Jim, now I am no longer worried. I appreciate you getting right back to me.

are you sure that ham is not already glazed?
If not, and your looking for the type of glaZe like they have on a "Honey Baked Ham" then I believe your going to need a torch

Using a torch blow torch with spiral ham

Mix ur ingredients -place them on a cookie sheet lined with foil
than spead out the mixed ingredients you going to use for glazing ON the SPIRAL ham- roll rind n fat into mixture on cookie sheet- getting mixed ingredients into the spiral sections also- BLOW torch it n keep repeating process until u get the desired coating built up..blow torch after each time u build another layer.. Don't rush the process.but use torch fast over ham so it doesn't burn the ham glaze-just glazes it well.
