Moving a Christmas Ham

jwc6160 · December 2016

Quick ham question. I am going to be doing another ham. Sticking loosely to Egrets recipe. I need some advice on the move though. I'm going to smoke it in the morning but have about an hour drive then another hour or so before the meal. I plan on smoking then packing in a cooler. Should I rewarm when I get there? I'm thinking it won't be necessary. Any tips on this are appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

a ham can sit out for an hour or more and still be warm/hot when you slice it.

don't reheat. it will still be hot when you get there in a cooler.

smoke to 140F internal, then wrap it in foil and put in a cooler. It should be fine, plus, ham is a dish that's served both hot and cold and all temps between.

Yep. Serving hot is somewhat of a recent thing. Up until about the 1920s a city ham was the centerpiece of what was referred to as a 'cold buffet'

City ham-not to be confused with a country ham as you well know.

Last minute help. So I've had it on for about 4 hours but I need to leave. I am around 100-110. Should I put it in the oven when I get there or just call it good? Is there a specific reason it needs to hit 140? Thanks.
