requesting ham help

Hello everyone, good evening. I just bought a ham at the grocery store, and wondered how to prepare and cook it. Do I need to get internal temp to 200 like a boston butt, or just to 160? The wrapper says that it is a pork shoulder picnic, the grocery store stamp says it is a whole picnic. It weighs in at 10.23lbs. any reccomendations? Thank you for any responses. The last butt I cooked took 16 1/2 hours at 230 degrees, is this going to be what to expect, or do I need a different aproach?

    rw:[p]Assuming this is pre-cooked, you can do it at a low dome temperature at about 275 degrees to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Higher temperatures are OK if you are doing it indirect, lower temperatures if you are doing it direct. I like direct and add some smoke and brush with maple syrup near the end of the cook.
