Title: Pre-Cooked Hams
Post by: ListerD on August 08, 2005, 05:36:09 PM
Anyone ever smoked one?

I did one for a neighbor on Saturday, pretty much traditional scored, cloved and pineapple type with a sweet raisin glaze.

Basically it was an 8 lb. pre-cooked ham from a local shop. I smoked it for just about 4 hours with apple wood to 160deg.

They gave me a bit of it when it was done. They absolutely loved it, me I wasn't too impressed.

What have you done in the past?

Look at this link.  Olds explains his t-shirt method for smoking pre cooked hams.  I have done them and I really like them.  Have fun

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.

OK... That looks doable [:)]  Will give it a whirl next time though with lower heat (did this last one in my offset).

Just a random thought here...try something besides Apple.  I do not care for the Apple flavored bisquettes, but I have done a few dishes with it that people loved.

Oh yeah, in this case the apple was their choice.

I'd rather do that then mesquite though... burned out on mesquite. [:D]

I did order alder and grape vine after reading about it here.

I did one for X-mas last year,full dress with maple syrup being spooned over it in the fridge for 1/2 day.It was around 12 lbs,bone in and I believe I also took it up to 160 F with apple/pecan pucks.
 It did go faster than the buzzered!   REALLY NICE !!  [:)]

The real trick is to allow it to cure for several days before you bake it.

LOL! That's what I said but not what I meant. [:D]

I don't know WTF I was thinking... Alder and Apple.

Though I did read of someone using grapevine the other day somewhere. Kind of caught me off guard.

I was thinking about this while I was at the store... Keep in mind I'm not using a BS I've got a pit and the Great Outdoors cabinet style.

For a Christmas ham, what about adding Mulling Spices to the water bowl? Smoked with hickory or oak.

We will add it to simmering wine in a cheesecloth pouch and let it steep for 20-30 minutes. Popular drink during the holidays served with cinamon and a thin slice of orange.

It just made me wonder about carrying that aroma and flavor over to a ham or maybe even a turkey breast.

Thoughts?
