Ingredients
Dry Rub Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Main Ingredients
- 3-5 lbs ham
- 1/3 cup bourbon
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
Method
Preparation
- Assemble the dry rub by mixing the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Using a sharp knife, make a series of crisscross cuts in a diamond pattern about 1/2 inch deep across the entire ham.
- Coat the ham in the dry rub, working it into the cut areas so the flavors sink in. You can do this a day or two before cooking.
Cooking
- Grill the ham using indirect heat for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. The ham is done when its internal temperature reaches 140°F (60℃).
- While the ham cooks, make the glaze by combining bourbon, maple syrup, and butter in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Stir the glaze until it comes to a boil. Lower the heat and let it reduce for 10 minutes, until it thickens.
- Brush the glaze onto the ham, turning it to coat each side. Let the glaze set for 10 to 15 minutes between each coat. Glaze at least three times, cooking a few more minutes after the last layer.
- Let the ham rest for 5 to 10 minutes under a foil tent before slicing.

Notes
If you have time, let the ham marinate with the dry rub overnight for more flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked evenly and safely. Experiment with different types of bourbon or sweeteners for the glaze to find your favorite.
