Servings: 30 servings
Calories: 302kcal
Ingredients
- 10-12 pound cooked spiral-cut ham (bone-in or shank), unflavored
- apple wood chunks
- lump charcoal
- 8 cups apple juice
- large disposable aluminum pan
For the Rub
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp brown mustard
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
For the Glaze
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- The day before, whisk together the Rub ingredients in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over entire ham. Cover and refrigerate ham overnight.
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F.
- Once the smoker has reached a stable temperature, add the wood chunks directly to the coals. Place the disposable aluminum pan on top of the wood chunks. (If your smoker has a platesetter, place pan directly on platesetter). Fill pan with apple juice and 4 cups of water.
- Put the grate in place (over aluminum pan) and place the ham on grate flat-side down. Close smoker lid and allow ham to cook for 2 hours. (Tip: Periodically check the smoker temperature to ensure it’s close to 250°F target.)
- Meanwhile, whisk all Glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- After the first two hours, brush the ham generously with Glaze. Close lid and cook for 1-1½ more hours; generously brush ham with Glaze again.
Notes
This ham can also be cooked in the oven, but you won’t be able to include the apple wood. While the ham won’t have a smoked flavor, it will still make for some delicious ham sandwiches!
