Picked up one of those Ready-To-Eat Butt Portion Hams about a month ago when they were on sale after the holidays.  Got close to the 'use by date' so I Hickory smoked it in my MAK 2 Star with a batch of Scalloped Potatoes and baked some No-Knead rolls.

Thanks Pam ...

8½ lb Ham (20-25 minutes/lb) at 325ºF.  In the MAK for 3½ hours and rested under a foil tent for 30 minutes.  The Scalloped Potatoes were in for 3 hours.

Yes, I used a basic No-Knead bread recipe.  3 cups flour, 1¾ tsp salt, ½ tsp rapid rise yeast, and 1½ cups water.  (12-18 hours)  I used 16 hours.  Cut into 8 pieces, formed into a ball, placed on parchment paper for 2nd rising.  Covered with flour sack towel for 1½-2 hours to proof.  Preheated oven to 450ºF and then heated pizza stone for 30 minutes.  Used egg yoke and water to wash the rolls, garnished with salt, and scored the dough with scissors.  Slid the parchment paper on the baking stone and baked for 19 minutes (18-20) at 450ºF.

Great looking meal.  The best part, leftovers!  The follow-on meals will be good as the original meal.

Half the Ham, Taters, and rolls were shared last night with my Son's Family (http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab105/papa_peter/BBQ%20Smoke/miscellaneous/Emoticons/Smile26.jpg)  You can only eat so much leftovers (http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab105/papa_peter/BBQ%20Smoke/miscellaneous/Emoticons/BigSmile25.jpg)

Since it was originally Hickory smoked I used Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Hickory Wood Pellets in my MAK Dee ... I've always used Hickory with Ham but I would think that Apple might be worth trying one of these days.  I find that the Butt or Shank Portion Hams work a lot better and are a LOT cheaper $$$ ...  Besides, I get to use the bone for a nice Split Pea Soup
