How To Make Coca Cola Brine
- In a large bowl, mix the Coca-Cola brine ingredients; I started with two cans of Coca-Cola and add in the seasonings.
- Pour the Coca-Cola mixture into a stock pan or container large enough to hold your ham and brine.
- After adding the first Coca-Cola mixture and ham, pour more Coca-Cola into the pan. Do this until the ham is submerged.
- Add some ice to the brine, and store in the fridge. If not stored in the fridge, you will need to keep adding ice.
- Allow 24-48 hours for the meat to be in the brine.
- Pro Tip- Be sure to flip the ham around in the brine to make sure everything gets coated well.
How To Smoke A Coca Cola Ham
- Before you start smoking the ham, remove it 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 pre-cooked, 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.
- 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!
