Temp and Time for whole ham

[jeffcosgrove]

I purchased a bone-in ham that has already been cured and smoked. It weighs about 18 lbs. Should I reheat it @ 325 deg? Approximately how long will that take?

Hi Jeff and welcome to The Pit! I’ve done butt hams that were already smoked in my Bronco and on my kettle. I’ve found that they take 2-3 hours to get fully smoked and heated through. Even though they were already smoked, usually it’s pretty mild, so I’ll add 2-3 chunks of hickory and smoke em again. Sprinkle it with Tony Chachere’s really good before hand and they are delicious! Good luck with this and however you do it, keep us posted afterwards….with pics too!

Reheating in Big Green Egg. It smells pretty smoky already. I bought it from Grayson's in Clarence, LA.

Just do it to 145°. Some people will say 165°, but they are wrong.

USDA says 145°
AmazingRibs has fresh hams at 145°
So you definitely don’t want to take a pre-cooked one much higher.

Welcome from Virginia!. As others have said, this ham is already cooked, so you are wanting it warmed through.. I take mine to 145 as well.

[jeffcosgrove]

Yes. I'm following this so putting a glaze on at 130 and finishing at 145.

He says to do it at 225 but I'm worried that will take a long time with how big my ham is. I don't think there will be a stall, but when I do pork butts it takes about 16 hours for an 8-9 pounder.

In this one he says 325.

I find that cooking at 325 dries out a procured and smoked ham. I have found 275 to be better. But a16 pounder will take a while. Maybe 5 hours? Good luck. 🤞

How did that ham turn out?

[jeffcosgrove]

Putting it on right now. The picture is how it looks before reheating. I'm going to do 275 deg. Will let you guys know how long it takes and how it turns out. Thanks for all of the advice.

It took closer to 6 hours at 275, but everyone agreed it was the best ham that they ever had. Thanks again to everyone for the help.
