We made this Smoked Coca Cola Ham Recipe for Christmas dinner and it was amazing! Personally, I love doing brines on other meats all the time but this is the first one I have done on a ham!

I love smoking my holiday meats, or any meat for that matter! I made this on my Pit Boss Pro 1100. NowI picked mine up Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves.

Smoked Ham Coca Cola Brine Recipe Ingredients:
-
- Bone-In Ham (Mine was 7lbs)
- 5 Cans Of Coca Cola
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 4 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Ice
How To Make Smoked Coca Cola Ham:
In a large bowl combine the brine ingredients except for the Coca-Cola into a large pot or pan. My ham fit into a stockpot with a lid.
Whisk together what is in the container and then begin to add your Coca-Cola, this will fizz up quite a bit so pour slowly.
Keep whisking the mixture as you are pouring in the Coca-Cola to make sure it is well mixed.
Drop your ham into the pot or the container, be sure to add ice if you are not putting the ham into the fridge or put the container into the fridge.
I put my ham into the brine at 430 on a Thursday night to smoke on Thursday morning.
Be sure to check that the brine is remaining cold by adding ice, and to flip the ham around in the brine as well.
Before you are ready to start smoking the ham remove your ham from the brine and allow it to set out at room temperature to warm up.
Start your smoker up, I used Pitboss Fruit Blend Pellets in my hopper.
I already had a Brined Turkey on the smoker, since the ham was precooked I only needed to add the flavor and warm it up by placing it on the smoker.
I put my ham on the smoker at 11 am at 225 degrees and allowed it to smoke until 2 pm. Do you use a meat thermometer to make sure that your ham has warmed up to a food-safe temperature.
I opened a can of Coca Cola into a bowl and used my Basting Mop to mop the ham with more Coca Cola as it smoked.
Remove and serve when at the proper temperature!
