instead of cooking it in the oven is this possible? or advisable? I intend not to use a Fresh ham. Just thought slow cooking over a smoker would work well. Any glaze suggestions?

Hey Rick,
I just did another one last night.
I get the shank hams from Smithfield,or the ones on sale.
I inject with some apple juice and no salt seasonings.
Score it lightly,mustard,and rub.
Set it on the middle rack,apple wood,215�-225� overnight.
It hits 190� about 12 hrs later and you can pull it like a butt.
If you want slices,take it to about 140�+ and it is done.Smithfield says 148�,but if you foil and let it rest awhile-it will get there.
That just takes about 3 hours.
Once again,watch the salt while you are cooking the salt water out of it.
We don't glaze,but mix with a little apple juice as we pull it.
Pineapple juice[if you like it] is interesting ,also.

I see questions all the time whether you can cook ham to the upper temp range and pull it like you would butt. I tried it once and decided there wasn't enough fat to make it work, but after reading your post I'm going to give it another try.
Yep,
The bone should twist out like a butt or shoulder.
I'm bad about eatin' it by the handful,as I do pulled pork.
We use it up in wraps,sandwiches,omelets,salads,anything with a tortilla,etc.
