Double-Smoked Ham Recipe

1. 1

   Using a sharp knife, cut a series of parallel slashes 1/2 inch deep in the ham.

2. 2

   Cut slashes in the opposite direction, forming a nice cross-hatch pattern on the surface of the ham.

3. 3

   Rub with oil and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.

4. 4

   Prepare your cooker for indirect cooking at 275 degrees F, using maple or pecan wood for flavor.

   Put the ham in the cooker, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the ham reads 150 degrees F. This should take about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes.

   In a bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce with the brown sugar.

7. 7

   Using a pastry brush, glaze the ham with all the sauce.

   Continue cooking the ham until the thermometer reads 160 degrees F. This should take about another 15 minutes, for a total cooking time of 2 to 3 hours.

9. 9

   Remove from the cooker and let rest, loosely tented with foil, for 15 minutes.
