SMOKED BAKED HAM
You can smoke fully cooked canned ham or smoked and cured whole ham or shank or butt portion.
Ingredients:
1 cup of Light Brown Sugar,
firmly packed
1/2 cup Orange Juice
1/2 cup Honey
Instructions:
1. Boil elbow macaroni according to package instructions for al dente.
2. Preheat the smoker to 225°F using a fruity hardwood like apple or cherry in the Side
Fire Box.
Tip: If your grill does not have the Side Fire Box attachment, easily turn it into a smoker
by arranging coals / wood opposite of where you place the mac and cheese pan. If you
place the pan on the right side of the grates, simply place wood on the right side for an
indirect cooking experience.
3. Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat, then melt butter and whisk in flour.
4. While continuing to whisk, add milk and heavy cream bringing to a boil.
5. Reduce to low-medium heat and whisk in cream cheese until smooth.

7. Turn off the heat then stir in macaroni noodles until thoroughly mixed with cheese
sauce
8. Place the entire skillet in the smoker and cook for 1-2 hours until desired doneness.
Keep in longer for more smoky flavor.

3. Insert a whole clove into the center of every diamond.
4. Place ham with fat side up in center of cooking grate. Close lid.
5. About 9 minutes per pound is suggested for fully cooked hams. Smoked or cured
ham, which is not fully cooked, should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
6. Baste with ham glaze 3 or 4 times during last 30 minutes of cooking time.
