If you will give just a little more detail on what you have either myself or some one will be able to point you in the right direction.

It's a Hormel, Cure 81 pre-cooked, pre-sliced Dinner Ham.  It's only 3lbs no bone and pre smoked.  I know its already cooked so I am just reheating but I want to add smoke flavor to it without drying it out.  Hope this helps!

I found the ham in question on Hormels site. There instructions suggest heating in a pan with a cup of water. That being said you should be able to put the ham in an open aluminum pad with 1 cup of water uncovered  and smoke at 225 until warm. Just a note I have never tried this particular ham but I don't see any reason that it wouldn't turn out fine. I would stabilize the egg at 225 and pour the smoke to it my friend.  Maybe others who have done this type of ham will offer input as well.

Thank you SGH-I appreciate the input.

what ive done with them is cook them in a pan with a juice mixture adding a little brown sugar and ground clove or allspice and simply rotate it in the juice mixture 2 or 3 times while it cooks at 325 til the outside starts to toast up. your simply re WARMING, not cooking to a done temp. juice can be some apple, orange, ginger ale, coke, whatever you have that sounds good, even a splash of bourbon

It's ready to serve when the internal temp is 140F.
