Spiral Cut Ham

[uncleal]

This is probably a stupid question, but:
Is it possible to smoke a spiral cut ham? A local grocery chain is having a big sale on them (98 cents a pound.)

My instincts tell me the juices would run out. I am wondering if I could bind it up or wrap loosely in foil.
Again, sounds crazy, but no harm in asking.
 

 

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Al

hey Al........I'm thinking that maybe a ham net would hold it together enough to keep it from leaking too badly. At that price, trying it can't be all bad........

Yep! Works like a charm. Don't even need to wrap it. I've done it multiple times.

Yep.  It can be done.

But care is needed.

I like them intact, myself.

Other half loves them due to her lack of knife skills.

Good luck and good smoking.

I pushed wooden skewers thru and then tied the ends with string. It kept it from drying out.

The only time I've had them dry out is when I over cooked it. I just sprinkle on some seasoning and throw it on

Yes, I highly recommend it! Just mustard and season it, then bring it up to eating temp around 145 degrees f.
