Double Smoked Ham - inaugural cook on my OK Joe offset!

[Compulsive Smoker]

Hi everyone!

On Friday evening I picked up an Oklahoma Joe’s Highlands offset smoker that was on sale for $200! This is my inaugural cook…

I started out with half a spiral cut ham (no bone) from good old Wal-Mart!

No prep needed on the ham before the smoker, so I lit up with charcoal and hickory and got it up to 250*.

I put the ham on and went to mix up the glaze. (I got this glaze recipe from the Smoked Meat Sunday website.)

1/4 cup of spicy brown mustard
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

At 1 3/4 hours of 250* I started adding the glaze.

Did 3 applications of glaze about 10 minutes apart then let sit on the smoker for another 5 or 6 minutes

After it cooled a bit I put it in a roaster pan with a 3/4 cup of apple juice and refrigerated overnight.

Today I stuck it in the oven at 225* for 2 hours until it hit 135* IT.

Finished product

Thanks for looking!

God bless…

That looks delicious!

I also enjoy a Dr Pepper based rub that was posted by Pioneer Woman if you ever wanna look that one up for the next one!

Congratulations on the deal on the new smoker!

Your offset journey has begun and it is a fun ride, at least for me. If you don't have one, I'd suggest a remote digital temp gage, don't rely on the temp gage that comes with it as it's probably not very accurate. I'd recommend a 4 probe unit because soon you'll be smoking more than 1 item and you'll also want to monitor grate temp, too. Thermoworks or Temppro (formerly ThermoPro) are 2 that many on here, including myself, use...

Thanks Charles! I have a 2 probe ThermPro, but I’ll probably upgrade after awhile here!

I bought the 2 probe before I was really into smoking that much, now I wish I had one with more probes!
