Hickory Smoked Spiral Ham with Glaze on Pellet Grill
Costco's Kirkland hickory smoked spiral ham with an included glaze packet is an easy and delicious option. It's simple to smoke this on your pellet grill or smoker by following a few easy steps.
Equipment
- Pellet grill or smoker
- Wood pellets - Pecan, Cherry, or Maple
- Instant read thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 Kirkland hickory smoked ham
- 1 Glaze packet
- 3 tbsp Orange juice or water
Instructions
- Unwrap the red outer foil and set the glaze packet aside. Then remove ham from the clear plastic packaging.
- Set the pellet grill to 325ºF and fill the hopper with either pecan, cherry, or maple pellets.
- Once preheated, place the ham directly on the grill grates or use a pan and close the lid. Make sure to remove the round plastic piece on the bottom of the ham.
- After 2 hours, check the ham’s internal temperature. Once it reaches 130ºF or more, it’s time to add the glaze.
- To prepare the glaze, follow the instructions on the packet. In a pot over medium heat, bring the packet contents along with three tablespoons of water or orange juice to boil. I prefer to use orange juice if I have it.
- Once the ham is at least 130ºF, increase the smoker’s temperature to 375ºF.
- Once the grill is preheated, pour or mop the glaze all over the outside of the ham. Use all the glaze you have.
- Close the lid and smoke for another 20 minutes.
- The ham should easily have an internal temperature of 140ºF, which is the minimum temperature you want to reach.
- Remove the ham and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve warm.
