Hi - I'm bringing a fully-cocked spiral ham to a Thanksgiving party tomorrow but the oven will be in use there.
My question is:
Can I warm the ham at home and drive it over (20 mins) and let the ham sit at room temp for maybe 3 or 4 hours until dinner is served?
They are traditionally served at room temp.
if not - what are my options here? I really don't want to make everyone sick...

put it in a crockpot or something

This is one area where a slow-cooker can excell since it can maintain the ham at a decent temp and the ceramic crock has enough thermal mass to keep it at a decent temp during transport.
Throw in some sliced apples to keep the moisture content up so it doesn't dry out.

Better keep the safety on.

Put it in a small cooler wrapped in tinfoil. It'll stay warm.
Just put it into a condom and shove it in your ass like in prison

What is a spiral ham and why are claps so weird about food? What do you think those 4 hours will do to it? It isn't going to turn radioactive and emit a toxic cloud.

Just a ham that's been mechanically cut so you can just yank portions off of it without the need for carving.
It's handy when you're serving a lot of people.
4 hours is kind of a long time for meat to be sitting at room temperature from a safety concern, but also from a quality standpoint.

Pig in that pig
Mine won't fit in a crock pot and I don't have a cooler
