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
