Well, I got volunteered by my lovely wife to smoke the ham for Easter dinner next Sunday. Should I go with a resmoke or go with a virgin ham?
 
Resmoke, too late to start curing your own, it takes almost 2 weeks to do it that way.

I use a spiral cut, slather in yellow mustard and your favorite rub ( I like Jeffs). Smoke until warm enough (it is all cooked so just get it hot enough to eat)

Easy fast and soo good.
 
^^^^^ re-smoke is your only choice now. BUT, you can spice it up if you like. I've taken a cheap ALDI's spirial cut Ham and open the folds and sprinkle in some spice (of your choice). I like mine sweet so I do Brown Sugar ,  ground Ginger and ground Cloves . others may offer other ways, you may like another way.

Have fun and...
 
Ham's all rubbed up and chilling in the fridge until morning! I'll let you all know how it turns out! Happy Easter to you!
 
It was a hit! Thank you guys for the tips! I started with a spiral cut, hickory smoked ham. Rubbed it down in mustard then, for times sake, used McComicks Applewood rub. Good rub but it was a bit "hot" for a few people. I mixed up 2 cups of 100% not from concentrate apple juice with a cup of brown sugar. Basted it right before putting in the smoker, which was loaded with hickory, then gave it another good basting about a half hour before pulling it out at 140 IT. Sorry for no Q view. I wanted to get it wrapped and in the cooler so I could retain as much heat as possible since we had a 45 minute drive ahead of us. It was delicious! Next time I hope to cure my own and do it up right!
