Depending on how it was smoked:

Fully cooked:

Put in a large enough pan on a rack, add water enough to cover pan, but
not enough to cover the top of the rack, cover with aluminum foil and
put into 325F oven until hot.

Cold smoked:

(as above) remove when thigh/body joint reaches 161F. Rest and carve.

At least both of those have worked for me.
