I've checked a few recipes, but I think I'm going to keep it simple.

I have a cooked hame (about 15 pounds).

I'm going to give it a bit of a rub of dry mustard, brown sugar, and a dash of pepper.

I plan on putting it in the rack with a drip tray, and the temp at about 250, with apple wood chippies. I figure about 5 hours or until the internal is about 180.

Comments, questions? threats? ;)

    I pull my pre-cooked hams around 140-145F.

    Ok, thanks!

    I'm assuming drinking is mandatory - so I'm all set to have a pitcher of bloody ceasars. :evil:

    Hey Ottawa,
    Try out Egret's Maple/Bourbon Ham Recipe.
    I sounds great. I'm giving it a try tomorrow.
    Send me an e-mail and I'll send you back the recipe.

    Hiya, I saw the recipe on the forum here - looks great.

    Being a newbie at all this - I'm going to shy away "surgery" (besides - needles scare me :blink: )

    Not planning to stab with needle either. (Cause I don't have one). Going to poke with knife and drizzle over ham. (As per RichardFL's suggestions).
    I'm in Ottawa working next week. Any restaurant suggestions? Staying out in the St. Laurent/417 area.
    Chimo hotel I think?

    Hey Grand Oeuf Vert,

    I am doing up Egret's recipe too -- it will give me a chance to try that injector I bought a while back.

    The local newspaper just finished publishing its annual dining guide. You can find it at:

    Part 4 gives the restaurants on the East side of town. Since I live in a different part of town, I don't have much chance to check the restaurants out in that part of town. I do remember seeing a few good reviews for the Coconut Lagoon -- an Indian restaurant -- and it is not that far from where you are staying.

    There are a lot of restaurants in the downtown area. Check out the Byward Market and the Elgin Street areas.

    You're right on top of the "Lone Star". Great fajitas and steaks - mesquite grilled !
