{"title":"Best Wood Pellets for Smoking Ham","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe best wood pellets for smoking ham are the sweet ones, and that's the short version of this whole page. Almost every ham you'll buy is already cured and fully cooked, so you're not really cooking it. You're layering real wood smoke onto meat that's ready to eat, and that job belongs to the fruit woods, not the heavy hitters. Here's how we pick pellets for ham, and how to double smoke one that gets photographed before it gets carved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur pick:\u003c\/strong\u003e if you just want the answer, it's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/products\/kona-100-cherry-wood-pellets-grilling-bbq-smoking-concentrated-pure-hardwood-mellow-smoke\"\u003eKona 100% Cherry\u003c\/a\u003e. Deep mahogany color on the outside, mild sweetness underneath, and it makes a glazed ham look like the magazine photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy ham needs a different wood than brisket or burgers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the label on the ham at the grocery store. Nearly all of them say \"fully cooked\" or \"ready to eat\" in small print, which means the curing house already did the salt, the sugar, and the cook. That changes your assignment completely. A brisket needs 12 hours of smoke to build flavor from zero. A ham arrives with flavor built in, so your wood is a finishing note, not the foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why the bold woods backfire here. I love mesquite. On our burgers page I tell people to run it straight, because a 40 minute patty can't be overpowered. Ham is the mirror image of that cook. You've got 2 to 3 hours in smoke, meat that's already seasoned, and usually a sugar glaze on top. Stack an earthy, high-intensity wood on all of that and the flavors fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo here's my opinion, plain: mesquite on a holiday ham is a mistake. This is the one cook of the year where cherry, apple, peach, and pecan get to be the stars instead of the supporting cast. Let them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Kona approach to ham pellets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuality first, because ham makes cheap pellets easy to taste. A lot of bargain bags are one base wood sprayed with flavor oils, or sawdust swept up at a mill and re-pressed, or wood from young trees that never grew the dense heartwood where flavor lives. Spray-on \"cherry\" over a filler base won't turn a ham mahogany. Real cherry does that on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKona pellets are pressed from mature hardwood with nothing sprayed on and nothing hiding inside. I spent ten years as a polymer chemist formulating coatings, and that work taught me one thing I've never shaken: the raw material decides the finished product. Wood should be wood. The mission is flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these pellets different for ham\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFruit woods that earn the color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry is famous for the mahogany shell it puts on cured pork, and it's the reason competition cooks blend it into almost everything. Apple and peach run softer and sweeter. All three flatter a glaze instead of arguing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBag sizes matched to the cook\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA double smoked ham wants 2 to 3 hours of smoke, not 12, so you don't need a 20 lb sack going stale in the garage. The 2 lb resealable bag is right for a Ninja Woodfire or a smoker tube, and it's roughly 15 sessions at the half cup scoop. Running a hopper-fed pellet smoker? Grab the 8 lb or 16 lb size of the same wood. Fresh pellets snap when you bend them. Stale ones crumble and smoke dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlends that read like a glaze\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Praline Pecan was built to taste the way a brown sugar glaze smells: nutty, sweet, and Southern. Sweetwood is our mildest blend, a gentle Caribbean-style sweetness for a ham the kids will go back to twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks in whatever smoker you own\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bag on this page runs in a full size smoker, a smoker tube on a gas grill, or a Ninja Woodfire, which our pellets are designed for. Same wood, same flavor. Pick your machine and pick your bag size to match it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest wood pellets for smoking ham from Kona\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf I'm smoking a ham this weekend, these are the four I reach for, in order:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/products\/kona-100-cherry-wood-pellets-grilling-bbq-smoking-concentrated-pure-hardwood-mellow-smoke\"\u003e100% Cherry\u003c\/a\u003e is the ham wood. Pure cherry hardwood, mild with a touch of tartness, and it lays down that deep mahogany color that sells the whole table before anyone takes a bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/products\/kona-100-apple-wood-pellets-grilling-bbq-smoking-concentrated-pure-hardwood-mellow-smoke-1\"\u003e100% Apple\u003c\/a\u003e is the classic pairing for cured pork. Orchard-sweet, mild, and forgiving, so if your timing slips by half an hour the ham doesn't punish you for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/products\/kona-sweet-praline-pecan-wood-smoker-pellets\"\u003eSweet Praline Pecan\u003c\/a\u003e is the glaze-matcher. If you're painting on brown sugar, maple, or honey in the last 45 minutes, this wood tastes like it was made for that moment, because it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/products\/kona-peach-blend-wood-smoker-pellets-for-ninja-woodfire-smokers\"\u003ePeach Blend\u003c\/a\u003e is our newest bag, fruit-forward with a soft aromatic finish. Try it 50\/50 with cherry. Peach brings the aroma, cherry brings the color, and the two together are my current favorite ham smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to double smoke a ham\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy the ham that's already cooked.\u003c\/strong\u003e Look for \"fully cooked\" or \"ready to eat\" on a bone-in half ham, 8 to 10 lbs. I'd skip the spiral cut if you can. All those pre-sliced surfaces dry out faster in the smoker, and a whole half ham carves fine with ten minutes of patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScore the fat.\u003c\/strong\u003e A diamond pattern about 1\/4 inch deep gives smoke and glaze more surface to grab, and it's why the finished ham looks like it came from a shop window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun 225 to 250°F, indirect.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set the ham flat side down and let it ride until it reads 140°F in the thickest part, away from the bone. Figure roughly 20 minutes per pound at 250°F, so an 8 lb half ham lands in the 2.5 to 3 hour range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze in the last 30 to 45 minutes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sugar scorches if it rides the whole cook, so paint the glaze on late, then once more right before you pull it. Two thin coats beat one thick one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCook to temperature, not time.\u003c\/strong\u003e 140°F is the number for reheating a fully cooked ham. A raw fresh ham is a different project entirely, needing 145°F plus rest and several more hours, so read your label before you plan your day. Trust your thermometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn a Ninja Woodfire,\u003c\/strong\u003e a small boneless or quarter ham fits nicely. Smoker mode, a half cup of pellets or one Smoke Pod, same 140°F finish line. If the smoke stalls after a refill, unplug, count to 10, and restart with dry pellets filled to the igniter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA note from Jamie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy first double smoked ham was a $25 grocery store ham I almost didn't bother with, because it said fully cooked and I figured the work was done. Two and a half hours over cherry changed my mind about that forever. Same ham, same glaze packet in the trash, and it disappeared before the turkey did. Anyways, that's the pitch. The cheapest upgrade on the holiday table is 2 lbs of real fruit wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMahalo for being a part of our flavorful journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore more\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/collections\/best-wood-pellets-for-turkey\"\u003eBest Wood Pellets for Turkey\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/collections\/best-wood-pellets-for-pork\"\u003eBest Wood Pellets for Pork\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/collections\/hickory-vs-mesquite\"\u003eHickory vs Mesquite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/collections\/smoke-pods-vs-bulk-pellets\"\u003eSmoke Pods vs Bulk Pellets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.konabbqstore.com\/collections\/wood-pellets\"\u003eShop all 100% Wood Smoker Pellets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the best wood pellets for smoking ham?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet, mild woods suit ham best because the meat is already cured and seasoned.
