Double Smoked Ham

[southoregonbob]

Holiday Greetings to all,
I'm going to smoke a 12lb ham tomorrow and I have a question.
To keep the ham from drying out while smoking, would it be a wise
idea to put some apple juice in the pan below the ham? I'm going
to use a spray bottle with apple juice but I don't want to keep opening
up the smoker letting out the heat and smoke. The temperature tomorrow
is going to be 38.

I don't know what Smoker you're using, but Check these out:
Double Smoked Ham
Double Smoked Spiral Sliced Ham

Check the way I baste the Ham with my automatic fat dripping pan.

Thank you for the quick reply Bear. I have both of those bookmarked on my computer but unfortunately my Traeger has only one shelf. Do you put a water pan in your smoker when you do
your hams?

Here is variation of putting the fat on upper shelf.

Different spin on basteing

I've done as AL has mentioned and put the fat trimmings above on next grate above the ham on dbl smoked hams. Well I'm doing ribs also for a retirement party tomorrow that took a shelf so I improvised.

Below is what Hawging It did to solve the problem of only having one shelf in his smoker.
You can contact him with any questions about that cool shelf:

And "My Water Pan in my MES units have not seen a drop of water in nearly 10 years."
