Just a heads up my friend. Last year when I smoked my ham, I found it to be the first meat I did NOT care for at the lowest IT possible. My ham at 145 IT was terrible. It seriously tasted raw. But when I raised the IT a little and browned some edges it was much much better.

That is/was my experience. I like everything rare, you know, knock off the horns, wipe the other end and run it across the fire once and I am a happy camper. BUT seems ham is the only exception. You might plan it to be ready just a tad early in case you find the same thing.

Its just my experience.

Going to 175 IT.

I too dont like my hams at an IT of 145. I found 155-160 to be perfect for me. I usually pull it at 155-158 or so and put it in a small cooler and drive it over to my mother in laws for dinner. Usually rests in the cooler for 2-3 hours. I am sure 175 will be fine, but i would consider pulling it off earlier.

Put my whole ham on the smoker this morning about 4am. Can't wait till dinner time!

Looks like it turned out great. Did it turn out how you thought it would? How about the people that ate it, positive feedback?
