A web site I visited says thawing in refrigerator will take 4 to 5 hours per pound for a small ham, and 5 to 7 hours for a large ham. To thaw in cold water, it takes 2 to 3 hours for a small ham and 30 minutes per pound for a large ham.

Cold water method doesn't make sense. Why would a large ham take less time? Should that be 30 minutes per pound for a small ham and 2-3 hours for a large ham?

No, they mean 2 to 3 hours TOTAL TIME to thaw a small ham in water, and 30 minutes PER POUND to thaw a large ham.

How long do you cook a fullly cooked 3 lb ham in a crock pot?

If the ham is fully cooked, there is no need to cook it any further. You could serve it just as it is...even cold. You may wish to heat the ham before serving it, but that shouldn't take very long in the oven, maybe an hour at 350 degrees. The crock pot could take a lot longer and would over-cook the ham.

How long do you cook a precooked 8.5 lb ham at 350?

i would recommend that you cook a whole ham long and slowly. say at about 150 degrees celcius for about 3 hours or so... of course this depends on the size of your ham... if it is very large you should cut it in half first and cook them like i said above. i would also recommend that you cover the ham in honey.. mustard powder and a sprinkle of brown sugar before putting it in the oven hope this helps.... =P
