  Rinse the ham under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, score the ham in a diamond pattern, about ¼ in deep, on all sides except the flat bottom. Rub the mustard over the top and sides, then sprinkle with the rub, making sure to cover the ham well.

  Using a wired leave-in meat thermometer or a wireless one like MEATER®, insert it into the thickest part of the ham avoiding bone. Transfer the ham to the grill grate flat side down and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165°F; this can take 3 to 4 hours depending on the size of your ham, the grill, and the weather,
