PreCooked Ham Prep

What's the good word on simply heating a precooked ham?     I'm wavering between a very low/slow heating or simple indirect at maybe 300 for several hours.    
I want to avoid 'charring' the top, so is a tin-foil cap OK?
I'll use an OJ / Honey / Mustard glaze.

    Either temp will work fine. If you cook lower and slower it will have more time to soak up smoke. You could split the difference and cook at 275.  I haven't had any issue with the top charting at temps up to 350 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    However you get there-just pull at 140*F for the finish temp.

    AH!   I'd forgotten about temp!    Good call.

    Lower temp and longer time allows for an extra couple of coats of your glaze. About the only benefit one way or the other.
