    Oh yes, I did, a Double Smoked Shank Ham! Take that classic ham and add more savory aromatics. The caramelization of the glaze gives every bite sweet Smoky-BBQ flavors. I used the shank ham because of the sweet flavor and less fat. Our glave is made with ingredients right in the cupboard or easily purchased at the store. You just whip it up while the double smoked ham is cooking. Now the smoking wood I used was hickory for its traditional intense smoke that adds sweetness and a hint of bacon. this recipe

    Scroll down to the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    1.
    Unpack the ham.
    2.
    Rinse thoroughly under cold water.
    3.
    Pat dry with paper towels.
    4.
    Place the ham on a tray and coat it with Dijon mustard.
    5.
    Sprinkle the ham with garlic powder and ground clove seasoning. Pat gently, don’t rub as the seasoning will not stay on the ham.

    6.
    Score the ham on all sides in an “X” pattern, about 1 inch deep.

    8.

    How to cook Smoked Ham

    Sprinkle is excited to share with you our Simple, Easy, and Tasty recipes. She has traveled for years and enjoyed food everywhere from Hawaii to Italy. Now she is the muse for The Kitchen Bucket List helping us developed and create our favorite dishes to bring to all of you.

    Choose a different smoking wood like: Maple for its sweetness; Apple with a fruity and mild smoke; Oak for its light taste.

    9.
    Prepare your smoker or BBQ and heat it up to 250 degrees F. BBQers prep for indirect cooking.
    10.
    Once it reaches 250 degrees F., I wait about 15 minutes. I’ve found that this wait allows the BBQ to stabilize to the temperature.
    11.
    Add the Hickory wood chunks to the charcoal.
    NOTE: Kamado or kettle style-BBQers, I have learned to add small chunks of my smoking wood to the charcoal off-center from the burning charcoal in the center. I do this once at temperature.
    12.
    Place the ham, in the disposable aluminum container, directly from the fridge to the grill. 

    How long to cook a Smoke Ham

    Smoked ham shank portion bone-in coated with Dijon mustard, Garlic powder, Ground clove seating in aluminum pan. Now placed on BBQ grill grate with Hickory smoke around it and lid open.

    13.
    Close the cover and cook at 250 degrees F. for 4 hours before putting the glaze on (In this case it is 4 hours because my ham was 10 pounds and it cooks at a rate of about 1 hour per 2 pounds.)

    Prepare the glaze.

    14.
    Karina prepared the glaze for me about 15 minutes before I have to put it on the ham. (Plan 1 hour before the end of the cook if your ham is bigger).

    Mix all the glaze ingredients together in a saucepan. (Light brown sugar, Honey, Ground cinnamon, Ground mustard, Ground garlic powder). Over medium heat, mix until all ingredients are incorporated and the brown sugar is dissolved.

    16.
    Over medium heat, mix until all ingredients are incorporated and the brown sugar is dissolved and looks like caramel.

    Back to Smoking.

    17.
    At the 4-hour mark, the internal temperature was 150 degrees F.
    18.
    This is when I pour the glaze over and cook for an additional hour.
    19.
    When the ham reached 160-165 degrees F. internal temperature, I took it off the grill.
    20.
    Let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and Enjoy!

    Substitutions

    You can use a spiral ham. Just remember that the shank ham is sweeter and will have more of a pork flavor. The spiral ham will need more basting, so lots of “peeks” during the cook. I would suggest using a pineapple or apple cider-type mixture. Now with this change, the time will vary…Those “peeks” cost time.
    The easy substitutions:

    • Dijon mustard to regular mustard or another you prefer.
    • Garlic powder to opinion powder.

    Equipment

    • Your favorite Smoker or BBQ with an indirect cooking system
    • Instant read thermometer

    Storage

    3 -4 days in the refrigerator or you can freeze the leftovers for up to 2 months.

    Top Tip

    Kamado or kettle style-BBQers, what I have learned on smoking with them is to keep the hot charcoal area in the middle of the charcoal bed like a chimney. This gives your desired smoking wood more time to smoke.

    • Cooked low and slow with sweet pecan wood, these Smoked Meatballs are our favorite BBQ flavor bombs this summer. The cheese brings a whole new level of flavor and texture.

    • Have ever seen the big Bone in Ribeye at the butcher counter and wondered how can I cook it? It is easier than you think. Best of all you get a dino rib as a bonus. The answer I have found to cooking this thick "Cowboy Cut" Angus ribeye is to reverse sear the steak. It is ideal for this. If you cook more than one, you can vary the level of doneness for each much easier.
