Can you cook a 10 pound ham on the grill?

You absolutely can cook a 10-pound ham on the grill! Here's how:

Preparation:

1. Choose your ham: Go for a spiral-sliced ham for easier grilling.

2. Prep the ham: Remove any packaging and place it in a large roasting pan. Score the fat on the surface of the ham (this helps with even cooking and adds flavor).

3. Make a glaze: There are endless glaze options, but a simple honey-mustard glaze is always delicious. Combine honey, mustard, brown sugar, and a little apple cider vinegar.

Grilling:

1. Pre-heat your grill: Set your grill to medium heat (about 350-375°F).

2. Prepare for indirect heat: You want to cook the ham indirectly, so move the coals to the sides of the grill or use the "indirect heat" setting on your gas grill.

3. Place the ham on the grill: Place the ham in the roasting pan directly on the grill grates, over the indirect heat.

4. Monitor and glaze: Cook for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Baste the ham with glaze every 30-45 minutes.

5. Let it rest: Once cooked, remove the ham from the grill and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

Tips:

* Use a meat thermometer: This is essential to ensure the ham is cooked through.

* Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the ham plenty of space.

* Watch for flare-ups: Keep a spray bottle of water handy to tame any flames from the fat drippings.

* Serve with sides: Enjoy your grilled ham with grilled pineapple, corn on the cob, or your favorite summer sides.

Enjoy your delicious grilled ham!
