147 after almost 8 hours. Going to start adding the glaze.

I’d be interested to find out how it tastes. I love ham but we just buy the Costco precooked/presliced ones, which are delish. I always figured cooking my own would just be a hassle without any added flavor.

About 10 hours into the cook, still going at 180 degrees. Up to 153 degrees internal temperature. Just applied another coat of the juice/honey glaze solution.

That's starting to look really good. I am not a big ham guy, but very interested to see how it turns out.Comment

My theory is that it should taste better, but I'm also somewhat concerned that the additional effort will be for naught.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

I haven't put a lot of thought into the theory. Mostly it consists of the concept that freshly cooked meat should be tastier/juicier/etc. than meat that has been reheated.

In my early smoking days, i tried using different types of wood for different stuff, but I couldnt really tell a difference between the various woods. So now i just use what is convenient. I picked up this bag of blended pellets from a local store with more convenient hours than the place I usually go.
I don't see any indication on the bag what the composition of this particular blend is, but it seems like it should result in robust and flavorful food.

Costco hams are trash. One of the few things Costco doesn’t do well. You’d be better off buying a ham at the grocery store. Better hams and just as cheap.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

But if you want a truly delicious spiral ham, I’ve yet to have one better than a Honeybaked. A bit pricey, but well worth it IMO.

I bought a spiral ham at the grocery store once and then used a blow torch to put a crust on it. Used brown sugar and some spices. Was really good.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Its not just the crust. The actual ham slices in a HBH are much more tender than a cheaper ham. The ham almost melts in your mouth, where a cheaper ham is almost always a bit chewy.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I bumped up the temp to 250 for the last half hour or so to try to get the internal temp up to 160. The highest it got before i pulled it and packed it to go was 156. It was still 156 when we arrived at my sister's place for the meal. The picture below was from just before pulling it off the smoker. I should have taken a picture of the interior after cutting it up but didn't think about it until it was much too late.
As for the taste, I've got to say I was a bit underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, it was yummy and probably better than most other hams I've had. I'm just not sure it was good enough to justify the additional hassle. The texture at 156 was pretty much the same as I would have expected from fully cooked hams, so maybe the texture would have been fine at a bit lower temperature - like the 145 degrees recommended by amazingribs.com. Also, I think smoking for so long at 180 may have thickened the crust beyond ideal.
So my current thought is to plan on a shorter cook at 225, or to just get a precooked ham and reheat it.
Or, better yet, get prime rib.
