Ingredients
  • For the Glaze
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 tangerine, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup champagne
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1" piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 8-10 pound ham; bone-in, uncut, cured
  • ½ cup honey mustard
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • Mesquite wood chunks, soaked
Instructions
  1. Prepare your Lang BBQ Smoker cooker and bring the temperature up to 225 degrees.
  2. While the smoker is heating up, coat the ham with the honey mustard then gently press the brown sugar into the mustard.
  3. When the smoker is ready, add a soaked chunk of mesquite wood to the coals, then lay the ham on the grates, cut side down.
  4. Smoke the ham for an hour and a half.
  5. Remove the ham from the smoker and lay it cut side down on a large piece of aluminum foil. Pull the sides of the foil up to make a bit of a bowl, then pour the orange juice over the ham. Close up the ham in the foil, then return it to your Lang BBQ Smoker, cut side down, and cook for an additional hour.
  6. Meanwhile, combine all the glaze ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a fast simmer over medium heat, cooking until the mixture reduces down to a syrupy, thick glaze. Pour through a strainer into a bowl or measuring cup.
  7. At the two and a half hour smoking mark, uncover the ham, but leave the foil around it like a bowl. Pour half the glaze over the ham and allow it to cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  8. Remove the ham to a platter, pour remaining glaze over it, loosely cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  9. Cut the perfectly smoked ham into nice thick steaks and enjoy.
