Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ham
Remove the ham from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before smoking. This will help it cook more evenly.
- 2
Create the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well until it forms a smooth paste.
- 3
Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will allow the glaze to penetrate better.
- 4
Apply the Glaze
Rub the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get it into the scored cuts.

Baste with Apple Juice
Every hour, baste the ham with apple juice to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.
- 8
Cook the Ham
Smoke the ham for approximately 4-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
