Smoke a ham day before or day of?

[Chris Kitchens]

My mother wants me to smoke the Christmas ham this year, but I can't seem to decide when to do it. I have 2 options, either smoke it the day before and bring it over then reheat it in the oven, OR just bring my smoker over and cook it the morning of. Is there any difference in taste if you reheat a ham a day after you cook it? Or will it taste better if I cook and eat it that morning? Please forgive this stupid question, but I've never cooked a whole ham before on the wsm, gonna attempt the bourbon glaze in the Smoke n spice book!

You need to specify the type of ham - fresh, ready-to-cook, or already cooked.

Sorry about that, the ham I plan on cooking is a ready to cook ham. Thanks!

I would bring the cooker over and serve it hot.
