How do I cook this ham?

[John-Peterson]

I'm going to do a half ham on the 22" kettle to free up some oven space. The ham weighs about 9 pounds and the packaging says to heat in a 300 degree over for 13-15 min per pound with an internal temp of 120 degrees. So in my case around 2.5 hours. It says to wrap it in foil.

So, are all these good to go by? The time, temp and foiling? Also how much lit/unlit charcoal do you think? I'm using blue Kingsford. Thanks guys.

You will need less charcoal than you think to get the Weber to the recommended temperature - I would use maybe 20 - 25 briquettes and bank them on one side of the grill, then put the ham on the other side. I would start with the top and bottom vents at 50% I would rotate the ham about half way through so that the side nearer the coals doesn't heat more than the other side. You may need to add a few coals every hour or so.

It might be easier to heat the ham on your WSM?
