Grilling To Get Away

This week on Grilling To Get Away, we’re taking a different approach to a classic and showing you how to make smoked pulled ham that’s simple, affordable, and packed with flavor.

We start by putting the ham on the smoker to build that rich, smoky bark using a simple seasoning approach (yes—this is where your rub does the heavy lifting). 

Then we finish it in the crock pot to break it down into tender, pull-apart perfection. No complicated steps. No babysitting the smoker all day.

This method is built for real life—whether you’re cooking for the family, prepping meals for the week, or just want something different from pulled pork.
