Over that place the grill, and this is where you’ll set your ham.Place the pan filled with juice and fruit on the plate setter.Set a plate setter in the Big Green Egg.

It’s the best way to make sure you don’t miss anything here at Biscuits and Burlap. So, for those reasons and more, we like to occasionally have the good old fashioned version, and smoked ham on the egg is a great way to get it. Using leftovers for dishes like a frittata, are easier with a ham that you can cut up however you like. Sometimes I like to have a ham that I can cut big thick slices from. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, but different from a ham like I grew up eating – and probably you too. Being pre-sliced makes it subject to dry out if you do anything else.Īlso, as the glaze seeps down between the slices it gives a completely different flavor to the ham. But a spiral sliced ham is really meant to be eaten cold, or only warmed up. We enjoy a spiral sliced ham – love them, in fact. We are honored that Big Green Egg has chosen our recipe to be featured on their official website. We realized there was a need for this when we wanted to smoke a ham on the Egg and could find very little in the way of recipes, tutorials or instructions except for those designed for spiral sliced hams. These directions and glaze recipe are ideal for smoked ham on the Big Green Egg when you have an old school ham, not the spiral sliced version so popular these days.
