Well,I assume you are talking about getting one of those store bought,city hams,with the bone in, that is about 15% water.
If that be the case you can add some smoke and dry it out enough to add some flavor.
If you go to page top and click find,select all forums and input ham,you should get some good threads with lots of variations.
Lots of folks cook at about 200º,to an internal of about 148º-seems to come to mind.

Thanks Tom for the info, gonna try this weekend for the wife. I had read one site, to soak ham in water for 24hrs. 1st time for me, kinda wanted to try to do it right. The links you suggested,got me headed in the right direction. Thanks again.
Soak the ham is for the salt cured ham's (like Smithfield) that need the soak to take some of the salt out. You might still need to do that, depending on the exact ham.
