How long do you cook a smithfield hardwood smoked ham?

Cooking times will vary based on the size and weight of the ham, as well as the type of oven used. For best results, follow the instructions on the packaging of your Smithfield Hardwood Smoked Ham.

As a general guideline, you can expect to cook a bone-in ham of 10 to 15 pounds for approximately 18-20 minutes per pound. A boneless ham of 8 to 10 pounds will typically cook in about 15-18 minutes per pound.
