Ingredients

Hot Honey and Bourbon glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 250°F.
  • With a small boning knife cut a checkerboard design all over the outside of your ham.
  • Coat the entire ham with Dijon mustard.
  • Season generously with honey garlic rub.
  • Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and place your ham on the rack with the cut side facing down.
  • Place the rack on the grates of the smoker and let it smoke for about 2 to 2½ hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F.
  • With a basting brush, brush half the glaze onto the ham on all sides.
  • Let it smoke for another 20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, then pour the remaining glaze over the top.
  • Serve immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Hot Honey and Bourbon glaze

  • In a small pot, combine all the ingredients for the glaze.
  • Stir until well-incorporated and bring to a boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly (2 to 3 minutes).

Notes

What wood should I use to smoke with? We used Bear Mountain Gourmet BBQ pellets. These pellets are a combination of oak, hickory, maple, and cherry.
