  • 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, and 1 cup Dr. Pepper

  • For the Glaze:

    • 1.5 cups dark brown sugar

    • 1/2 cup orange juice

    • 3/4 cup honey

    • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

    • 1/4 cup Dr. Pepper

    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

    • 1 tsp ground cloves

    • 1/2 tsp chili powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start Smoking: Place the ham directly on the smoker rack at the smoke setting for 1 hour.

2. Apply the Rub: Remove the ham and coat it with your favorite pork rubs.

3. Smoke Again: Place the ham in a foil pan and return it to the smoker set at 225°F. Smoke for 2 hours.

4. Add Liquid Gold: Pour 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, and 1 cup Dr. Pepper directly over the ham. Cover the pan tightly with foil.

5. Heat It Up: Increase the smoker temperature to 275°F and cook for 2.5–3 hours, until the ham's internal temperature reaches 140°F.

Prepare the Glaze

While the ham smokes, prepare the glaze:

• Combine all glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan.

• Stir continuously on medium heat until the mixture boils.

• Remove from heat and let cool to a syrup-like consistency.

Final Touch

When the ham reaches 140°F:

• Drain the juices from the pan.

• Generously coat the ham with the prepared glaze.

• Return the ham to the smoker at 400°F for 5–6 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes.

Serve & Enjoy

Remove the ham, slice it up, and serve. This double smoked ham is bound to be the star of your meal!
