I have an oil less fryer. I have cooked a ham before in it and it turned out well. I am thinking about doing another ham in it but use an injection like you would a turkey. Like a cake injector or something like that. Has anyone ever done that with a ham? What are your thoughts?

Are you talking a fresh ham?? if so I have injected em and put em on the pit. a processed ham we usually boil em then in the oven for a bit makes wonderful stock and cuts down on the salt in the ham.

My BIL injected a Kentucky Legend half ham with Tony’s Creole Butter. I thought he had lost his mind, but that thing turned out good.

I’m starting to realize I grew up eating salty food, so you know, take it with a grain of salt.

I inject with maple syrup and liquid smoke. Put in disposable pan with more syrup/smoke and place in smoker until temp reaches 130.

Never tried injecting. I usually get a spiral sliced ham a couple of times a year and put it on the Primo, over a water pan, for about 3 hours or until it reaches the temp I want. I baste it with a Cherry-Jalapeno BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes.

It doesn't soak up a lot of smoke flavor, being already cooked, but we like the result better than one done in the oven, plus it frees up the oven for sides.
