Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 1 1/2 days
Cooks' notes:
•Gas grill method: Preheat grill to moderately low. Place ham, fatty side up, in grill on a rack in a large broiler pan. Close lid, then roast about 3 hours.
•Oven method: Roast ham, fatty side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan in a preheated 350°F oven, about 3 hours.
