In charge of bringing an additional meat the feast Thursday.

Is this a common practice?

How do you go about doing this?

Any advice is really appreciated.

    I attended a holiday smoking class on Saturday.  We used a whole boneless uncut ham.  Decorated it with pineapple and cherries.  Smoked and glazed with your favorite glaze.  It was tasty.  I'm planning to do a ham on the Egg using this method.  Good luck!!!!  Here's a photo of the ham from class...

    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.  
    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.

    I smoked and re-heated a honey-baked ham a couple of years ago - it was extraordinary.  The meat on the outer part of the spirals gets a little bit dried out and almost Canadian bacony.

    all hams sold in the US are pretty much "ready to eat".

    the majority say "pre cooked", and so we are reheating.

    i don't know of a commercially sold (big name) ham that is uncooked, but cured.  there may be some, just never see them

    country ham is uncooked, and you can eat that raw if you want (sliced thin), like prosciutto.
