Peach Wood Smoked Ham

Ham and the Holidays go together like Bacon and Eggs….or bacon and darn near anything, for that matter.  Your smoker is one of the most wonderful tools for taking a holiday ham to the next level. Oh sure, you could use a crock pot or even (gasp) an oven… but once you’ve tried it on the smoker, you’ll never want to do one any other way.

10 Pound Big Honking Ham Shank 
2 Tablespoons KC Butt Spice (linky) *
1 Can Sliced Pineapple
Peach Wood
