Ham - Recipes and information on selecting and cooking the perfect ham

Recipes and information on selecting and cooking the perfect ham whether you want to smoke your own or grill up a precooked one. You can grill, smoke or rotisserie your next ham for more flavor.
Grilling Ham - Step by Step
Many people seem challenged by cooking their Holiday Ham (or Easter, or whenever) which is ironic since Hams don't need to be cooked. What this means is that Ham is about the easiest meat to cook. I don't really need to worry about the internal temperature other than getting it warm and you can cook it by most any means. What you do need to be careful with is overcooking. Ham is great out of the package and pretty much useless if its dried out.
Grilling Ham - Don’t just warm up your ham, grill it for flavor and character
Everyone loves those sugar coated, glazed hams you stand in line for around the holidays. These hams are actually very easy to prepare on your own with a good grill. The secret is to get the sugar to melt and camelize to the surface of the ham. The advantage you have is that you can heat the ham and coat it at the same time so it is fresh off the grill when you serve it.
Selecting a Ham - Get what you want by knowing what's available.
There are a lot of Hams on the market these days and they are very different. Knowing what a ham is and what you need it for will help you decide what to get.
