Brush the brown sugar glaze onto your ham, being sure to generously coat it especially around the scoring and turn it up to 300°F. Set a 30 minute timer and baste again with the glaze. After a final 30 minutes, your ham should be around 140-145°F.

Remove the ham from your pellet smoker and tent it for at least 10 minutes with tin foil before carving to avoid moisture loss. Enjoy!
