Ham

Options
Any one ever try a Rose's Bone-in Ham.  I have the opportunity to pick up a 23-24 pounder for $56.  Just wondering if the quality is decent.  Thanks a lot!

    2 very good ways to cook a ham on the Egg:

    NAKED HAM / SMOKE ONLY

    Let me start that for the first 6 years i have only cooked Egerts Ham (this is an outstanding ham Egged on the BGE). 
     
     Several years ago went looking for (did not know this at the time) a naked ham / smoke only.  Looking at 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: lots of Sugar Maple. Cooked at 300 till 135. I did score the ham deep. Cooked indirect.
    New item: just did spiral and worked out fine.

    ‪John Hall Here you go: Maple-Bourbon Ham‬
    ‪by John Hall (egret)‬

    ‪Ingredients:‬

    ‪Maple-Bourbon Paste (recipe follows)‬
    ‪10-12 # cooked, ready to eat Ham (bone-in Butt or Shank section) ‬
    ‪1/2-1 cup Maple Syrup‬
    ‪Cherry and Apple Chunks‬

    ‪Preparation:‬

    ‪The day before smoking, place ham in a pan flat side down. Inject in multiple locations with maple syrup (use more than 1 cup if it will take it).‬
    ‪Smear the Maple-Bourbon Paste all over the exposed surfaces (except flat side). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator until ready to smoke (You can remove ham from refrigerator up to one hour before cooking).‬
    ‪Stabilize egg at 250℉ with plate setter (legs up) and regular grid on plate setter. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of wood on coals, then place ham on grid. Cook until internal temperature reaches 140°. (this should take about 5 hours). ‬

    ‪Maple-Bourbon Paste:‬

    ‪2 Tbls. pure Maple Syrup‬
    ‪2 Tbls. freshly ground Black Pepper‬
    ‪2 Tbls. Dijon or Honey-Dijon Mustard‬
    ‪1 Tbls. Bourbon‬
    ‪1 Tbls. Vegetable Oil‬
    ‪1 Tbls. Paprika‬
    ‪1 Tbls. Onion Powder ‬
    ‪2 tsp. coarse Salt, either Kosher or Sea Salt‬
