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).

Stabilize egg at 250° F. with plate setter (legs up) with regular grid on PS. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of wood on coals, then place ham on grid. Cook until internal temperature reaches 140° F. (this should take about 5 hours).

i've eatin egret's ham and it is excellent ....the one i always do on thanksgiving though is dr. chicken's double smoked ham. ..takes an average store bought smoked ham, and turns it into something truly memorable. .. even if you only do the glaze and don't do the injection, it is fantastic. ..here is a link ..

yes both recipes listed here are TERRIFIC. BTW anybody hear from Dr Chicken (Dave Spence) lately? I'd love to have an address whether it be email or a mailing address.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

i haven't heard from him in a long time. ..but he usually shows up when he sees me post to beat me for not doing the injection! LOL . .

I have also cooked Egret's Maple Bourbon ham AND WILL on T-day along with a spatchcocked turkey.....Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

What kind of wood do you recommend for smoking the ham?

Egret,
I have copied the link to do this at some point, it sure looks sounds great.
Thanks for posting the recipe,
Bordello
