Directions: |
Directions:The day before smoking, place ham in a pan flat side down. Inject in multiple locations with maple syrup (use more than 1 cup if it will take it). Smear the Maple-Bourbon Paste all over the exposed surfaces (except flat side). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator until ready to smoke (You can remove ham from refrigerator up to one hour before cooking).
Stabilize the Big Green Egg smoker at 250° F. with plate setter (legs up) regular grid with raised grid attached. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of wood on coals, then place ham on raised grid.
Cook until internal temperature reaches 140° F. (this should take about 5 hours). |

Notes: If cooking a large ham, or two or more butts or shanks you can omit the raised grid if you're experiencing a "fit" problem with the Big Green Egg and just cook on the regular grid.
