Ingredients
-
2 1/4 Pounds Boneless Fresh Ham
-
10-12 Whole Cloves
-
5 Bay Leaves
Special Equipment
- 2 Large Handfuls Applewood Chips
- Instant-Read Thermometer
Instructions
-
- Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (250° to 350°F).
- With a sharp knife score the fat of the ham in a crisscross pattern. Stud the fat layer with the cloves, using some of the cloves to secure the bay leaves in place.
- Drain the wood chips. Add a handful of the chips to the coals or add them to the smoker box of a gas grill and close the lid. When smoke appears, grill the ham, fat side up, over indirect medium-low heat, with the lid closed, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 165°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
