Absolutely! For an amazing smoked ham, start with a good quality ham and make sure to score the surface in a crisscross pattern to let the flavors seep in. A great seasoning trick is to create a glaze with brown sugar, honey, and a touch of mustard; it adds a perfect sweet and tangy balance. Smoking it slowly at a low temperature ensures it stays juicy and flavorful. Adding some apple or cherry wood chips can give it a wonderful, smoky aroma. Enjoy making that delicious smoked ham!
