Method

  1. Preheat the pellet grill to 225°F (225°F) and set up a drip tray with triple‑layered foil to catch glaze while allowing airflow beneath the ham.

  2. Remove the skin from the ham, score the surface lightly, and place the ham on the rack in the grill.

  3. Smoke the ham for about 3 to 4 hours, or until it reaches a deep golden color and an internal temperature of 140°F (140°F).

  4. While the ham is smoking, prepare the glaze: combine the pineapple preserves, dark molasses, honey, bourbon, brown sugar, and dried mustard in a saucepan and simmer until smooth.

  5. When the ham has a good color (about 3 hours in), begin brushing the glaze over the surface every 15 minutes.

  6. Continue glazing until the ham is glossy and the glaze has caramelized, about 30 minutes more.

  7. Remove the ham from the grill, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
