TWICE SMOKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees f.
• Place the ham, cut side down, directly on the grill grates.
• Close the lid and smoke the ham for 1.5 hours.
• Place the ham in a large 12 inch cast iron skillet. Pour 1 cup of chicken stock over the ham and then cover the ham and the top of the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Close the lid, increase the temperature on your smoker to 300 degrees F and continue cooking for an additional 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reads 140 degrees F.
• When the ham is almost done cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine all of the glaze ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a whisk, just until the glaze comes to a boil. Remove from the heat immediately.
• Remove the ham from the smoker and open up the foil. Drain off any excess cooking liquid and set aside for serving. Turn the ham over onto it's side and brush liberally with the brown sugar honey glaze.
• Place the glazed ham into your oven on High broil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
• Serve immediately with the drippings from the cast iron skillet on the side, if desired.

JIMMY'S SMOKED HAM

Steps:

• 1. Remove ham for refrigerater. Place in a large pot with coke and seaoning salt. Soak for 3 to 4 hours. NOTE: I soaked over night in the fridge.
• 2. Meanwhile soak hickory in water. NOTE: we cut our own hickery and soaked over night.
• 3. Place coals in smoker and fire them up. Once hot; place ham in smoker; add wet hickory on top of burning coals (this will smoke and that's what you want it to do). Add additional coals as needed.
• 4. Smoke for about 5 hours. Slice and serve. NOTE: If you are unsure of the status of your smoked ham, then heating the ham until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees will ensure that it is safe to eat.

• Pour the warm glaze over the warm ham and serve immediately.
