OK I have gone though all of the old post about hams. Here is what I have gotten out of it. The best ham to smoke is a cured ham that is partially cooked. You would put it in the smoker at 200 degrees until it reaches an internal temp of 140.
OK now here is my question, I can not find a cured partially cooked ham so what I was thinking and you guys let me know what you think. Is to get a fully cooked ham and take the skin off. Put it in the smoke @ 200 for about 2 hours. At the 2 hour mark coat it with honey and brown sugar and put it back in the smoker until the internal temp reaches the 140 mark.
How does this sound to you guys?

Yeah Tom I planned on adding more smoke. What are your thoughts on cook times?
The reason I thought for letting it cook a little before adding the honey and brown sugar was to let them smoke get to the meat more. Do you think the honey and brown sugar will block the smoke from getting to the meat?

Thanks Tom
I have one to do for my Mom, And it is fully cooked. I will cover with honey and brown sugar and then smoke at 225 till it gets to 140.

My brother did one four years ago, and he got it ready and coated with all his good stuff. Well I put it in and the after 2 1/2 hrs I looked at it and it just didn't look right. Got to looking at it and there was still a layer of plastic on it, and the plastic was shrinking.

Peeled it off and finished it, but all the toppings were gone. We still remind him of the protective layer. He claimed he left it on to keep it moist?????

But we don't give him a hard time, no?????
