Easter Ham

[MR1980]

I have a few questions about smoking a ham for Easter, I'm going to smoke a 15lb pre cooked on the uds. I have done some looking at previous threads on how to smoke the ham so I know what to do as far as that goes but the problem I have is we are traveling 2hrs in the morning to my brother in-laws for lunch and I need to get it done before we leave. My question is could I smoke it the night before or would it be better to just get up early and if so is there an amount of time per pound of meat to be on the smoker?

Either way will work, if you smoke it the day of your trip it will probably still be warm when you get there (wrapped). It will take about three hours to smoke that ham at 250-275.

Jack, if I do it the day before do you think it will dry out?

 

[MR1980]

If I decide to smoke it the day before Easter do you think it might be to dry after reheating it on Sunday, and how is Favre doing?

 

[Untraceable]

So if its precooked, you plan on cooking it the day before and then again on easter?

Id just do it sunday morning and bring it in a cooler. you are only talking about reheating the ham to 145

Smoking one day then reheating the next probably will dry it out, I would smoke it on Easter if I had the time, otherwise just eat it cold on Easter, it will still be very good. Brett Favre probably did not get up and go to work today, I had to. He is doing just fine I would guess. :-o
