I only smoked one ham. I covered it with honey and packed it with brown sugar. It was hit!

Is the ham "cured" or straight off the hog? I don't know if it makes a difference, but I smoked several cured hams over the years, all with good results. I've used a charcoal smoker and a propane smoker and they all turned out great--although I have to lean towards charcoal for better flavor (sorry Hank Hill!).

Pecan is great...For the marinade, I use:

1 jar of Ribbon cane syrup
1/2 cup Worchester Sauce
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
As much minced Garlic as you like
1/2 cup DARK Braon Sugar
Black Pepper to Taste.

Marinate for at least 24 hrs...48 would be better.
Smoke at 225 degrees for 45 minutes PER POUND. Make sure to have water in a pan under the ham. Mine have always turned out very good with this recipe...

DPD25's recipe sounds good.

I have done a couple of wild hogs and smoked at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes per lb. I usually let it set uncovered for 1.5-2hrs then wrap in foil for the rest of the time. Have not tried it yet but will this weekend, use an injector and inject some marinade in there and use your favorite rub on the outside. I use pecan wood also.

If it's just fresh pork and not a cured ham, brine it in 1g water with 1c salt and 2c sugar dissolved in it. Make as many gallons as you need to fill the container/ice chest to cover the meat. Keep this covered with ice for a day or so. Get your smoker going low and slow with hickory. Dry rub it with a sweet rub or a SPG rub. I like sweet on pork and turkey. Smoke it at least ten hours below 200 and pull it to rest and finish. The next day wrap in foil and oven heat it until your temp probe reads 145. Enjoy.

Very similar to what my brine is, except I include a 1/2 cup of my dry rub per gallon also. It comes out great.

I used a brining bag and Mortons Tender Quick. Also used an injection needle and put in the fridge for a week turning once a day.
If you want a glaze or rub go for it. Make sure interior temp is above 165 degrees
