FAQ

Why do people put pineapple on ham?

And it’s not just me and Benton: Pineapple appears in ham recipes all over the world—atop the ham, in glazes slicking the ham, in shield-your-eyes versions of fried rice. “Typically, when you’re doing a country ham, you need something sweet to neutralize the ham’s saltiness, and pineapple does this really well.”

How do you keep a ham moist on the grill?

Place the ham cut-side down on a piece of aluminum foil to prevent the end from drying out. This will help keep in the moisture while exposing the skin to the heat and flavor of the grill.

How long does it take to grill a ham on the grill?

If you are using a precooked ham and cooking it between 225 and 250 degrees F, then grilling a ham should take about 15 to 20 minutes per pound of ham. Most hams weigh in the 8 to 12-pound range, so this size ham would take about 2 to 3 hours to be fully heated through.

Can you cook a full ham on the grill?

Place the ham on the baking sheet, flat side down, on the grill grates, preheat your charcoal grill to 300 degrees F for indirect heat, cover the grill, and cook the ham for 2 hours.
