Soak the ham overnight. This will help to remove some of the saltiness and add moisture to the ham.
Use a good quality smoker. A good smoker will help to create a smoky flavor and keep the ham moist.
Smoke the ham at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the ham from drying out.
Use a variety of woods. Different woods will give the ham different flavors. Popular woods for smoking ham include hickory, maple, and oak.
Keep the ham moist. Spritz the ham with water or apple cider vinegar every few hours to keep it from drying out.
Let the ham rest before carving. This will help to keep the juices in the ham.
