Directions

The Night Before . . .
1

Insert 1/2 cup maple syrup between spiral ham slices. Using a turkey baster works here, but you have to get your clean fingers in there to separate the slices.

2

Mix all ingredients for the rub together. Spread over entire ham. Tie up the ham with kitchen twine to keep the slices together.

3

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Bring out the ham 30 minutes prior to adding to Egg. Add some soaked apple wood chips just before you add the ham.

Put the ham on the Green Egg! (I love saying that!)

  1. What was the average heating time for this? Trying to get a good what time to put it on.

    1. Jesse – It depends on the temperature of the smoker, but typically it’s not too long. 60-90 minutes. You can up the temperature of the smoker to 275 or 300 if you want to cook it a little more quickly. It’s a cooked ham, so you are just reheating it.
