Got a ham butt but need some cooking help

TxAggie · October 2009

Picked up a 9 pound ham (butt end) with bone. I am going to cook it for dinner and had some questions on prep.

1. I am thinking indirect with roasting drip pan, maybe with apple juice in it?
2. I was going to coat it in mustard and use a John Henry Sugar & Maple rb on it for a sweet crust? Anyone have another idea or recommend not doing that?
3. I have cherry, hickory, and mesquite wood smoking chips...do I stick to hickory on this one?

Is this a cured ham?

if so,

1. No need for liquid in the drip pan

2. That works.

3. Hickory will work, but don't use too much. remember this piece of meat is already cooked. You just need to heat it up.

If not cured, you need to treat it like a low and slow cook.
