    carl,
    This one is excellent :[p]Maple-Bourbon Ham*
    by John Hall (egret)[p]Ingredients :[p]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[p]Preparation :[p]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) regular grid with raised grid attached. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of wood on coals, then place ham on raised grid. Cook until internal temperature reaches 140° (this should take about 5 hours). [p]Maple-Bourbon Paste[p]2 Tbls. pure Maple Syrup
    2 Tbls. freshly ground Black Pepper

    carl,[p]Egret's Bourbon Ham is a winner in our house. And I've heard great things about Dr. Chicken's double smoked ham. Here are the recipes! Good luck!
    btw, you are going to have more luck on the 'new' forum, just click green link at the top of this forum.

    egret,[p]Thanks for the recipe. Do you have a wood preference? Also, what type of ham do you prefer and is it uncooked?

    I think the recipe calls for a pre-cooked (ready to eat) ham. I also thought I saw cherry and apple chunks for the wood type.

    Carl,[p]I use the bone in shank, the precooked ones are the way to go for this. Then you are double smoking the ham. I either go with Cherry or Pecan wood most of the time.[p]-Jill

    I like cherry 1st and apple 2nd. Some folks are mixing the two.

    Of course others use Pecan, and the other flavors.

    No not at all. See my post above and the referenced link.

    This process works great. We did 6 hams during Christmas and are doing 3 this weekend.

    The results, or better stated, the results I had came out better than Honey Baked Ham.

    mojopin,[p]Last ?. If the ham is already cooked would seem cooking it twice would make it tough. Am I missing something?

    Carl,[p]You have to reheat the already cooked ham to temp anyhow, so you are just adding more flavor and smoke to the party. Plus the BGE hardly ever dries food out, it is great in keeping moisture in your meat. Keep the temp low on the dome, no more than 250 degrees.[p]-Jill

    egret,[p]Have you tried this with a *spiral-cut* ham? I'm worried it might dry out, as more is exposed to the smoke...
