Ingredients

For the Ham

2 Tbsp black pepper
2 Tbsp mustard powder
1 12-14 pound cooked, spiral-cut ham (bone-in or shank), unflavored
large disposable aluminum pan

For the Bourbon Glaze

1 cup American whiskey I recommend Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Woodford, etc.
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup honey
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

For the Ham

Preheat grill or smoker to indirect low heat (~250°F). See note below.
Using a small bowl, combine the pepper and mustard powder. Rub this spice mixture over entire ham.
Place the ham in the disposable aluminum pan and place pan on grill/smoker. (Note: If using a gas or charcoal grill, pan should be placed over indirect heat.)
Grill for 2 hours.
Brush ham generously with the bourbon glaze, but save enough glaze for another round of brushing later.
Continue grilling for 1-1 ½ more hours, or until internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F.
Brush remaining glaze on ham. Let cook for another 20 minutes.
Tip the foil pan and drain off any of the juices that have collected there.
Serve warm or cold.

For the Bourbon Glaze

Using a medium bowl, whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, honey, mustard and apple cider vinegar.

Notes

Indirect cooking on a grill is the opposite of cooking over direct flame. Most ceramic grill/smokers have inserts for indirect grilling. If you have a gas grill, you can set it up for indirect grilling by turning the two outside burners on medium or medium-low. Then just leave the middle burner(s) off. This method is called “M-O-M,” or medium-off-medium. You will place the ham in the pan over the middle (off) portion of the grill. For charcoal grills, simply pile equal amounts of charcoal on either side of the grill but leave the center portion without any charcoal. You will place the ham over the middle (no charcoal) portion of the grill.
