Ingredients
  

  • One spiral-sliced ham weighing 8 pounds
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • ¼ cup chicken stock

Homemade Maple Bourbon Glaze:

  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup bourbon
  • 4 teaspoons sweet rub
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
  • Place the ham, cut side down, directly on the grill grates.
  • Close the lid and smoke the ham for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Remove the ham from the smoker and place it in a large 12-inch cast iron skillet.
  • Mix the chicken stock, maple syrup, and bourbon, then pour it over the ham.
  • Cover the ham and the top of the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Increase the temperature on your smoker to 300 degrees F.
  • Place the skillet on the smoker, close the lid, and continue cooking for an additional 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
  • Prepare the glaze when the ham is almost done cooking: Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a whisk, until the glaze comes to a boil. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Remove the ham from the smoker and open the foil.
  • Drain off any excess cooking liquid and set it aside for serving.
  • Turn the ham over onto its side and generously brush it with the maple bourbon glaze.
  • Place the glazed ham into your oven on high broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
  • Serve immediately with the drippings from the cast iron skillet on the side, if desired.
