I'm a big fan of Malcolm Reed. I've been wanting to do hams for awhile now and today was the ideal time. "Let's get to cookin.."
So I took 2 spiral sliced, pre-cooked hams (17lbs total) and rubbed them with honey Dijon mustard and a light coat of brown sugar. Onto the UDS at 225. I didn't have enough clearance for the hams to sit upright so I laid them flat in foil pans. 2hrs with a fist size chunk of cherry wood. After 2hrs I flipped them and sprayed with pineapple juice and covered with foil. Another hour and I uncovered and dusted with more brown sugar and pineapple juice to set the glaze. One more hour and 145 IT. Malcolm always says "Make this recipe your own" so I added a chunk of maple wood for the last hour. I basted the hams every 20 mins or so with the juice in the pan. This ham is the bomb. Sorry, no sides. Everyone is just eating ham. Thanks for looking and Happy Easter.

Looks great! I agree...malcolm is great and most everything I’ve tried from him (aside from a cheese dip) has been outstanding

My apologies for such a long opening paragraph. I still have no clue how to put sentences between photos.
 
Hams look great. Love his videos. My 8 year old son will ask to watch them with me.

I am the same about not being able to post pics and put sentences between them, but the main thing is that with those pics, you don't need words. Nicely done! Malcolm would be proud.
 
Great looking pig legs!

I followed Malcolm's recipe, more or less, as well.
I used cherry wood for the smoke and the ham came with a packet of dry ingredients for the glaze, brown sugar and other spices, it smelled good so I mixed it with some apple juice and used it instead of Malcolm's glaze recipe.
~4 hours on the ECB offset running 250* to 275*. Glazed at 135* and pulled off at 140*. Darn tasty! Nice crisp to the glaze and great flavor.
Only thing I will do different next time is glaze at 115* and pull off at 120* ala my old Betty Crocker cookbook.
 
To me, it was noticeable closer to the edges. The center, not so much. Mine was spiral sliced as well, so I would think it would get more smoke than a non sliced ham.
I would do it again, but it seems more of a presentation thing, honestly.
