- Method
-
- Combine all of the rub ingredients into a bowl and rub vigorously into the ham.
- Place the ham into a large sealable plastic bag, close and leave to rest overnight.
- Remove from fridge and let come to room temperature ( 45minutes).
- Place 1/3 of the wood chips in water to soak for 1/2 hour.
- Preheat your grill to high on one side. Leave the other side off.
- Prepare a smoke package.
- Squeeze the excess water from half of the soaking wood chips and place them at the center of a large piece of foil. Add half of the dry wood chips and mix.
- Close the foil around the wood chips to create a sealed package.
- Using a fork, poke holes in both sides of the package for the smoke to escape. The more holes - the more smoke.
- Repeat this process again to make a second smoke package.
- Place the wood chip pack directly over the heat source and wait for smoke.
- Once you have smoke, reduce the heat under the package. Let the barbecue come to 200-220°F (100-110°C).
- Cook the ham using indirect heat. Place the ham on the far side of the grill where there is no direct heat.
- Leave to smoke for 3 hours. Half way through, change the smoke package for a fresh package.
- Prepare the glaze. Place all of the ingredients in to a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir until melted.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Let stand for 30 minutes. Reheat before using on the ham.
- With 1 hour left to go, start the glazing process. Brush the glaze liberally onto the meat. Repeat 30 minutes later.
- Tent the finished ham with foil for 10 minutes before carving.
