Hi all,
I will be doing a 20lb whole fresh ham for Christmas dinner and I have a few questions... I searched the forum and found some great info from Kevin Kruger and plan using a favor brine/marinade and roasting/smoking the ham at 325 - 350 until an internal temp of 145 - 155.
At this point I think I have two questions:
1) Does anyone have an approximate time estimate for a 20lb ham at 350 so I can figure out when to start (I've seen estimates around 25 or 30 minutes per lb, but that is at 225).
2) I will be using either a 22" weber kettle or a 4 burner Genesis II. My original plan was to use the kettle and cook a 'back-up' cured and smoked ham on the gas grill (if I crash and burn, I have to have something to serve my family!!) However, this will be my first time doing anything so big on the kettle and I am now leaning towards using the gas grill for the big fresh ham and cook the back up ham on the kettle... (I did our Thanksgiving turkey on the genesis and it turned out fantastic) so, any advice about which one to use would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you all for any input/advice -- just searching through the forum has already been a huge help thanks!
