I have a 7 1/2 lb cure 81 ham. How long does it take to smoke this at say 250?

thanks.
 
Cure 81 is Hormel (I think) upper end ham. It is "ham in natural juices" so its the real deal ham and no processing, but it is already cooked. I would be careful with leaving it on to long, as even with lower temps to get a smoke flavor, the ham can become very salty from the loss of moisture. I just smoked a 1/2 ham with apple and then sliced very thin and it lasted 4 days, and it was supposed to be just for lunches.
