Double Smoked Spiral Ham

December brings out traditions that feel bigger than the meal itself, and Double Smoked Spiral Ham fits right into that spirit. Families start planning Christmas menus early, and a dish like this adds rich depth without adding stress. Smoking a pre-cooked spiral ham lets you build flavor slowly, creating a centerpiece that feels warm, inviting, and perfect for a holiday table. The Hybrid Grill Series makes the process even better, giving you the steady heat and wood-smoke character that push this classic toward something truly memorable.

Using the Hybrid Grill Series also brings a level of control that many holiday cooks appreciate. Its trays sit directly above powerful gas burners, so your hardwood or lump charcoal lights quickly and burns cleanly. Once the smoke rolls, the ham absorbs it with ease, picking up a sweet, savory edge that pairs beautifully with seasonal glazes. Low heat, steady airflow, and the freedom to mix your preferred fuels help you hit the texture and aroma that define a great smoked ham.

American Made Grills adds pride to the process as well. Each model reflects American craftsmanship—hand-built, stainless, and designed for cooks who expect consistent performance all year long. Thoughtful engineering supports flavor from the first spark to the last slice, and that reliability stands out during the holidays, when every moment around the grill matters.

Whether you are gathering on a quiet December evening or hosting a crowd for Christmas dinner, this Double Smoked Spiral Ham turns the Hybrid Grill Series into a holiday ally. The method is simple, the results feel rich, and the flavor brings everyone closer to the patio—right where you want them during the season.
