One Of My Favourite Barbecue Ham Recipes

Not all barbecue ham recipes need loads of time in the smoker and this one makes life really easy (and relatively quick to do) with a little boiling water to start.

For quick and consistent results boil the ham first just as you would if you were doing it in the oven because this ensures that the meat stays moist and doesn't dry out. Work on a boiling time of 15 minutes per pound or 30 minutes per kilo.

When the boiling is complete it's then time to finish it off in the smoker.

Many will of course argue that you don't need to boil first and you can still produce a succulent ham - they're right of course. It's really a matter of how much time and effort you want to put into the cookout and whether you want to stay absolutely pure to the principle of smoking.

If you want a recipe that doesn’t boil first, check out my seriously alcoholic barbecue ham recipe and this should do the trick.

Preparation Time:- 20 mins
Boiling Time:- 15 minutes per pound
Smoking Time:- 4 hours

Total Time:- Approximately 5 hours (based on a 4lb ham)

Ingredients:-

Method:-

Once boiled, remove the ham from the water and allow to cool.

Score the skin with a sharp knife to a diagonal cross-hatch pattern taking care not to cut through the fat and into the meat. You're looking to cut through the skin and into the fat....no further.

Use a skewer to make holes in the ham and insert the whole cloves at regular intevals.

Set your smoker up to run at 110°F or 225°C then place the ham into the meat smoker and cook indirectly for approximately four hours turning at half time.

Mix all the other ingredients together to make the glaze and after 4 hours brush all over the barbecue ham and cook for a further 2 hours. Feel free to re-apply the glaze after another hour.

TIP - Don’t be tempted to re-apply the glaze too often because every time you lift the lid of the cooker you’ll lose both smoke and heat.
