Suie,

Below is a Twin Ham Double Smoke I did, before I was putting the trimmed fat above the Hams.

If you look at the first few lines I wrote, you'll see that I said I cut the skin off the top & some of the fat, but I said I should have cut more fat off first.

So I would recommend you trim the fat down to less than 1/2" thick, and then cut a cross hatch through the fat, to the meat, so smoke & basting juices can get into the red meat.

I also often make those cuts completely around the Ham (horizontally), instead of crosshatch, so when the cracks open up, there won't be any vertical cuts for the juice to run down through.

If you don't have one, drop by the Hardware store and get a "utility Knife". The kind with the adjustable razor blade type blade. Its the bee's knees when scoring.  
Ah, I think I know just the kind you mean, and do have one. Thanks!

Oh yeah baby! Smoking a ham tomorrow! Butcher gave me a Smithfield shank, .99/lb!  I am thinking it must have come off a hippopotamus!!!

Anyone tell me what a buffet ham is? Well besides 26 pounds? LOL... is it pressed ham parts and pieces?

Love me a Good Old Fashion Hippo-Ham----Don't tell Leah!!

I think a Buffet Ham is a Ham either already sliced or a nice oval shape for slicing for a buffet or sandwiches. Like I said---"I think".

This thing is a big as the old medicine balls we used in the gym and about as heavy too!  Sooner or later I will have to thaw it so I can actually see. But I'll have to wait for something like feeding all the next hurricane's first responders....LOL Maybe have a returning home buffet for the Local guard. Since its an MP battalion they always get called...... LOL
 
 
Nice job! I never thought to try using the the ham and smoking it. Again, I looks great!
Thanks!!

It's so easy, and everybody that tries it says it's the best they ever had!!

Cheap---Easy---Awesome!!

Oh man, this was sooo good! Had to change plans at the last minute as the ham didn't fit in the mini. So it got some open air smoke while I fired up my other smoker.

The extra smokiness was so nice, and the glaze is delicious!! Thanks again for posting Bear, I highly recommend this recipe!

 
looks really good there Bear, double smoked ham is a favorite of mine. I have a $5 ham that I picked up after Christmas waiting to get the treatment.

Bear...I tried your recipe on Easter and all I can say is AWESOME!!!!  The ham was beautiful and absolutely delicious!!  I was a little leery about rendering the excess fat in a pan above the ham and letting it "baste"...thought I would have a huge mess to clean up (excuse my newbieness...I should've known you would not lead me astray

).  But the glaze...ohhhh, the glaze...an absolute thing of beauty...and deliciousness!!!!  This was our third attempt at smoking meat and by far, our most successful thus far!

Thank you so much for the step by step directions and the pictures!  It was easy and delicious!!! You da man!!!!!!
