ham rub

[GABJR]

Any suggestions for a ham rub before smoking ?

If it is fresh I like to use just salt, pepper and granulated garlic; sometimes I will mix the spices with brown sugar. But you don't have to stop there, you can add other spices. Cook's Ham Rub is one rub I've been meaning to try. Cured hams I don't use a rub, but finish them in the oven with a glaze. But you can use the same rubs with cured hams, just eliminate the salt.
