Char Roasted Ham

Notes
Using the water in the bottom of the cast iron skillet is optional. I have tried using a glaze, but it actually gets lost with the char roast flavor. Using a glaze also presents a risk of opening the grill too soon.
Ingredients
- 1 9- to-10-pound bone-in fully cooked smoked ham (butt or shank half)
- 1 cup water (Optional)
Instructions
- Bring ham to room temp for 2 hours prior to roasting
- Pre-heat your gas grill to high for 15 minutes
- Place the ham butt in a cast iron skillet with 1 cup of water in the center of the grill
- Reduce heat to low (Indirect heat if possible but not necessary )
- Let the char roast for 1 hours WITHOUT OPENING THE LID
- Check the ham for done-ness with the char level in the recipe picture as a target
- Roast in 30 minute increments, checking char levels against target
- It is critical to not be opening the lid every 15 minutes as that will release heat and disrupt the char roasting process
- When char target is achieved, remove from grill and let sit for 15 minutes
