Smoked Ham Recipe Ingredients

• 1 6-7 pound fully-cooked ham
• 1 can sliced pineapple
  
• 1/2 jar horseradish
  
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cayenne
• 4 tablespoons spicy mustard
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 aluminum foil tray with a 1 inch lip to hold liquid
  
• 1 bag of charcoal
• 1 bottle of lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter
• 1 or 2 bags of wood chips of your choice (apple wood is recommended)

Smoked Ham Recipe Directions

1. This smoked ham recipe begins by lighting your smoker for indirect grilling and soaking your wood chips in water. Put your wood chips in a smoker box or aluminum foil pouch right before your put your ham on the smoker.
   
2. Season the ham by mixing the horseradish, brown sugar, cayenne, spicy mustard, salt, and black pepper together and rubbing it all over the outside of the ham.
   
3. Next, lay your sliced pineapple all over the ham arranging them so they are laying on the side as well as the top of the ham. Pour your pineapple juice in the bottom of the aluminum foil tray. This pineapple juice will add moisture to the ham during the smoking and also add a sweet flavor that goes great with the spicy ingredients of the seasonings.
4. Place your foil tray on the smoker and smoke the ham at 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Smoke your ham for about 3 hours. Since you are cooking a precooked ham, you don't need to worry about checking the internal temperature or making sure it is fully cooked.
