Preheat the pit to 375°F (190°C) using cherry pellets.

Remove the spiral ham from the package and check for any plastic pieces.

Dry the ham with paper towels.

Apply a honey chipotle barbecue rub generously to the ham.

Transfer the ham to a tin for cooking.

Place the ham on the pit and let it smoke for about 4 hours, rotating it occasionally for even cooking.

After 1 hour, spritz the ham with water to cool it down and prevent burning.

After 3 hours, cover the ham with foil to prevent it from crisping too much.

Check the internal temperature of the ham; it should be around 125°F (52°C).

After about 4 hours, when the ham reaches 135°F (57°C), start glazing it with the maple bourbon butter glaze.

Glaze the ham, close the pit, and let it cook for about 5 minutes, then repeat the glazing process until the ham reaches 140°F (60°C).

Once the ham reaches 140°F, remove it from the pit and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
