Ham on the Big Green Egg

[krc]

I am going to try a Ham on the Big Green Egg for the first time.
10 pound spiral cut ham

I going to use something close to this

1/2 cup Maple Syrup - Use half and rub between spiral cut pieces.

I am only going to do the bottom half with the maple syrup in case it's to sweet.

Stabilize egg at 250? with plate setter (legs up) regular grid with raised grid attached. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of apple wood on the coals, then place the ham in a tin pan flat side down. Cook until internal temperature reaches 140? (this should take about 5 hours).


about one hour before ham is done I will rub the left over Maple Syrup and the Maple-Bourbon Paste on the outside.

Maple-Bourbon Paste
2 Tbls. pure Maple Syrup
2 Tbls. freshly ground Black Pepper
2 Tbls. Dijon or Honey-Dijon Mustard
1 Tbls. Bourbon
1 Tbls. Vegetable Oil
1 Tbls. Paprika
1 Tbls. Onion Powder
2 tsp. coarse Salt, either kosher or sea salt

Deezy, If you don't have a Big Green Egg. You need to get one.

I have had a side smoker for years. Nothing is like a Big Green Egg. It makes smoking/cooking so easy for any food.:0008

They cost a few $$ about $700 to get started
However, best investment I made in a long time:00hour

Yes, I placed my ham in a tin pan(drip pan) flat side down.
The weight of the ham kept it from separating until I took it off. :0008

krc,

have had my XL egg for almost a year now. I cook on it about 2-3 times a week and am constantly trying all sorts of new meats a cooking methods. I love the thing and don't know what the hell i was doing without it before a year ago.

I have to give you kudos on that ham though. That's one thing I haven't mustered up the courage to try yet. I'll certainly use your recipe when I do.
Helluva job man. :toast:

I had a side smoker for 15 years before I got my Egg. I had no idea it would be this good. :0074

I am always looking for new things to try on the BGE. I work from home most days. I get a chance to look through the Fridge/freezer and decide. What am I going to try today and I have all day to cook it. :00hour


I find lots of good stuff on eggheadforum. However, the spices/taste are not always what I want so I change them a bit.

My wife tells me the best thing I do on the BGE is Beer can Chicken. :shrug:

Thanks for the complement Deezy :toast:
