Traeger Smoked Ham - Easy glazed double-smoked ham recipe (2024)

FAQs

When to glaze a double smoked ham? ›

After the meat reaches that 130° to 135°F internal temperature, place the ham in a grilling safe dish - this can be an aluminum pan, cast iron skillet, or aluminum lined baking pan – and brush on the glaze. Boss Tip: This can take about an hour or two, depending on size of your ham.

Insert the probe into the center of the ham. Place the roasting pan on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Open the grill lid and glaze the ham with the maple syrup mixture. Close the lid again and continue cooking until the internal temperatures reaches 135℉, about 30 minutes more.

A good rule of thumb is to smoke the ham at a temperature of 225-250°F for 30 minutes per pound. This means a 10-pound ham will take around five hours to smoke.

Whether you heat your spiral ham in the slow cooker or oven, all you have to do is open the glaze packet and apply it 30 minutes before your ham is finished cooking. By the time it's ready to serve, you'll have a satiny-glazed ham without any of the time or effort it takes to make a ham glaze.

Brush ham all over with ⅓ Glaze (Glaze will have thickened so return to heat to loosen, about 30 seconds). Leave ham uncovered to caramelize surface and bake until the ham reaches an internal temperature of around 140 degrees F, approximately 20-30 minutes, spooning juices over ham every 10 minutes.

Once ham has been basted and wrapped in aluminum foil, place it back on the smoker and cook for 1 hour at 225 degrees. After 1 hour and your ham reaches 140 degrees internal, it's time to glaze.

Once your grill or smoker reaches a temperature of 225, place the ham on the grate. If the Ham is fully cooked, smoke for one hour. How long does it take to smoke a ham that's uncooked? If it's been brined and prepared, expect to smoke for up to 7 hours, until it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Smokiness: most store-bought hams are already smoked (and thus a pre-cooked ham), so we are essentially bringing your store-bought ham up to temp (needs to reach 140 internal temp) on a smoker which will infuse additional smokiness into the ham!

If you don't cover your ham while cooking it will quickly dry out. Instead: Put some aluminum foil over your ham while it's cooking. It is recommended that the ham is covered for at least half of the cooking process and only removed during the last half when you glaze it.

Generally, you will bake at 275° F for 12-15 minutes per pound. Most hams come with baking directions that you can follow, but most will fall within these guidelines. You're going to want the internal temperature to be 145° F for pre-cooked ham and 160° F if cooking an uncooked ham.

What to spritz smoked ham with? ›

With that in mind, what I tend to use and find is the best spritz for smoking is apple cider vinegar but water will work as well, or a 50/50 mix. Another great alternative is apple juice where the sugars in the juice also add another level of flavour to your bark.

We recommend heating your ham up on the Traeger to give it additional wood-fired flavor. What temperature should I cook my ham at and how do I know if it's done? In general, it's best to reheat ham gently so as to not dry it out. Most Traeger recipes recommend setting the cook temperature to around 325°F.

Pre-Cooked and Bone-In Ham

If the ham is a half ham weighing five to seven pounds, it should heat at 325°F for 22-25 minutes per pound. If it is a whole ham weighing between 10 to 14 pounds, heat the ham at 325°F for 18-20 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be 140°F.

Place the ham in a 325°F oven for approximately 10-15 minutes per pound or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F as measured with a food thermometer. Baste ham occasionally during cooking time with accumulated juices. We recommend finishing with a glaze later on.

The glaze should not be applied until the final hour to 30 minutes, in order to avoid burning the sugars. What you're going to do with the glaze ingredients is just combine most of them into a paste, and then apply it to the ham. After that, the heat in your oven will take care of everything.

If you don't cover your ham while cooking it will quickly dry out. Instead: Put some aluminum foil over your ham while it's cooking. It is recommended that the ham is covered for at least half of the cooking process and only removed during the last half when you glaze it.

Can you overcook a glazed ham? Yes, you can. Overcooked ham can become dry. Cook the ham for 1 hour at 200ºC or until warmed through, basting it every 15 minutes.

Allow to boil at a low temperature 15 minutes or until dark and slightly thickened. (Mixture will thicken more upon standing). Cool at least 20 minutes before glazing ham. This allows the mixture to thicken which will coat the ham better.
