Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs ham (boneless & cured)

Maple Glaze

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple juice
  • ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Fire up your smoker to 250°F (120°C) and add smoking wood chips to coals/wood tray
  • Remove ham from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature while smoker warms up
  • Once your smoker has reached target temperature, place the ham directly on the center smoker rack fat-side up, and cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours
  • Prepare the maple glaze: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Then, add the maple syrup, dark brown sugar, light brown sugar, honey, dijon mustard, apple juice, and apple cider vinegar. Use a whisk to combine as it heats for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar and butter has dissolved.
  • Once the ham’s internal temperature reaches 130°F (55°C), remove it from the smoker and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil. Bring the sides of the foil sheet up to form a short wall around the ham.
  • Use a basting brush to apply the warm glaze to the ham. Apply generously and aim to cover as much of the meat as possible.
  • Place ham back in the smoker. Increase heat to 325°F (160°C) and smoke until pork internal temperature hits 145°F (60°C), approximately 1 hour.
  • Pull ham from the smoker and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Slice to serve.
