First fresh ham smoke.

in Pork
I’m about to try my hand at my first fresh ham on the egg. I’ve got a 10.5 lb butt end cut fresh ham. Any recommendations on temp, wood, rub, etc? And how long I can expect it to take to get done? Is this going to cook about like a Boston Butt time wise? What temp should I consider it done?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Is it really a ham, if it hasn't been cured?
Edit: welcome to the forum. Hopefully someone with experience in this will reply shortly.
Here's an interesting read:

My favorite is an old Justin Wilson recipe which is just Creole Mustard and Honey .....coat the ham in mustard , low temp 250-275bin direct to it 145 ish , you can even take it to the point of ppulling if desired , pour honey over the mustard coating allow to set and not burn, I have let the honey mustard coating ride from the very beginning watching the temp
Ham is Ham......Cured = nitrites/nitrates Fresh = salt cureVisalia, Ca @lkapigian -
Pulled pork takes so long because you are taking it to 205.If you want to slice the ham, and it is totally green (un cured), then you have a roast. Roast it.At 140-145 it will be mid-rare and will coast to 150, whoch is where most civilians like it
I go a bit rarer myself.The cut is a ham whether you cure it or not. But these days “ham” pretty much implies a cured ham, just because most people don’t know the differences.
