Ham it is.

So yesterday I posted on what to do for Christmas dinner. Long story short my butcher is getting a 10lb shank ham that is already cured and smoked. The question is, how do you folks "reheat" the ham? Any tricks of the trade would be great as this is our first year doing this.

Is skin normally removed from a ham shank or do you remove it prior to cooking it or???

I leave it on, just score it. Either way works well. Some like to stick cloves in it.

NAKED HAM / SMOKE ONLY

Let me start that for the past 6 years i have only cooked Egerts Ham (this is an outstanding ham Egged on the BGE). 

 

 A short while ago went looking for (did not know this at the time) a naked ham / smoke only. Thank you Wayne (Thirdeye)for the hand holding. Also thanks to Richard and Gary (Village Idiot)and Kent and Chubby for all the emails and calls on other ways to do a ham w/o the burbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, no anything. Guys this was outstanding ham. It tasted like ham. It was a 7 lb Cooks ham (shank) and NOTHING was put on it (Nothing). Just smoke: both lots of pecan and cherry chunks. Cooked at 300 till 145/155. I did score the ham deep.

Mickey, do you have a recipe for that ham?

I did three hams with the Maple Bourbon recipe and they turned out fantastic. I did one the week before Easter to get a feel for the cook and then two on Easter. They were tender, juicy and very taste.

Mickey\ Richard fl,

That was the best ham I have ever had. Only thing I did differently was I baked it in the oven. Even my parents comment red on it being the best ham they ever had. Never new a ham could be that tender!
