Nothing special about the ham. A 10lb Farmer John's pre-cooked, non-smoked. Got it on sale for $0.88 a lb.

Loosely followed a recipe from Smoke & Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison for Maple-Bourbon Ham.

First we scored and cloved the meat, followed by applying the paste. Set overnight in the fridge.




Next day, make the mop & glaze. Sorry, no glaze pics.



Finally ready to go in the MES.



220* for 6 hours. Pecan with a hickory finish. Mopping once an hour. Glazed twice during final hour.



I couldn't have asked for better flavor or results.

   Do you have any sliced pics to drool over?
Thanks. Unfortunately those were all I took. Funny part is that I didn't take any of them for the purpose of posting. New member, obviously.  I'll get better as I learn to control myself from digging right in come slicing time.
nice job and nice to have a helpers xtra pair of hands....enjoy
You got that right. She's a great help and support when it comes to my new hobby. Being no dummy, she realizes it's a win / win. ;)
