Do You Need to Buy a Propane Tank?

As you should do before any big cookout, make sure that you buy a propane tank or have enough on hand in your current tank to get the job done. There’s nothing worse than running out of propane half way through your big event!

Once that’s taken care of, preheat half of your grill.

As you can probably imagine, you’ll be cooking your ham over indirect heat. Low and slow is the key to getting this one right, but trust us when we say that you’ll love the end result!

You could choose to invest in a small smoker box, but we’ve found that it works equally well to simply throw some wood chips in a bag of aluminum foil. Be sure to soak your wood chips beforehand to ensure that they provide maximum flavor!

Getting Your Ham Started

You can also opt to rub the outside of your ham, providing it with a delicious outer layer and helping to add an extra level of deliciousness. Whether you opt for brown sugar, honey, or the packet that may have come with your ham, your dinner will turn out best if take advantage of this step.

You may also be under the impression that your ham is going to take all day to cook, but in fact, in most cases, it will take under two hours. The key is to keep your grill closed and spray your ham every half hour or so with some type of liquid. Whether you use apple juice, pineapple juice, water, or something else is up to you entirely.

For many people, the entire grilling process should take around an hour and a half. Just be sure to insert a meat thermometer and make sure that the thickest part of the ham is cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees and you’ll be just fine.

The Finishing Touches

To cap things off, turn off your grill, remove your ham, and wrap it with foil. Set it aside for awhile; doing this allows the juices to distribute evenly throughout the ham, ensuring that your meal is as delicious as it can be. You can use this time to go ahead and prep the rest of your meal.

Whether it’s yams and dinner rolls or green bean casserole, we’re absolutely certain that your grilled ham will be the center of the show.
