My Bologna Has a First Name...

Barbeque Bologna.  I've never done it before.  I found a loaf (if that's what it's called) at GFS and decided it was time to do it.  I scored it, slathered mustard on it and covered it in Dizzy Pig's Red Eye Express.  I cooked indirect at 300 for about 2.5 hours.  I didn't bother with cooking by temp because it's pre-cooked from a quality source.  A little after two hours, I peeked and saw the scores I made were pretty big, so I called it good.  Sauced it with some Stubbs Hickory I had.  It wasn't bad, but I think I would rather spend my money cooking something else.  Here's some pix.




Thanks for looking.

    Looks good. I've never had it on the grill, but I'm really partial to a fried bologna sandwich with a great homegrown tomato.

    @Fred19Flintstone - thanks for bringing the forum awareness to the bologna.  My favorite sports venue food is a fried bologna sandwich.  Sometimes it's quite a hike to find a vendor, if one is even there.  I'm sure the profit margins are right up there with the high-society groceries but that doesn't garner any respect.  Gotta love a fried bologna sandwich...

    Interesting. Maybe slice it and grill it? Possibly on a griddle? Similar to a fried bologna sandwich without the fry. This post reminds me of when I was a student at Ohio State. We used to make a road trip to the G&R Tavern in Waldo, Ohio for their famous fried bolgna sandwiches. I could go for one now!

    Smoked bologna isn't for everyone, but I really like it.  I've never smoked a roll, because it's just too much meat for me.  Having said that, I order it occasionally when eating out if it's available.  Yours looks killer!

    Looks great brother Fred. We take a piece of 1" diameter pipe and shove through the center length wise. This cuts a 1" hole all the way through the center. Then you can stuff that bad boy with cheese or whatever you like. Give it a try sometime my friend.

    Holy $h!t. This might be the holy grail. If I had a seal of approval it would be all over this.

    @SGH - I've seen this cook from several folks on YouTube and nobody put a hole in it for stuffing.  I feel like a dummy for not thinking of that!  Speaking of YouTube, I like that Malcolm is an egghead now.

    @Fred19Flintstone Looks good but that's a huge piece of meat, we would have leftovers for a month with that much meat :)

    @SGH That's just genius!  I bet you can plug the ends with the meat removed using the pipe to keep the filling in.  I foresee some bologna stuffed with mac & cheese in a near future.

    I have my moments my friend ;)
    In all seriousness, I first saw it done by a real old black man back in the late 70's. Sadly I never even knew his name. He use to stand out beside Telephone Road by the rail roads selling Q off of old drums that he had. Chicken halves, untrimmed spares and stuffed Bologna rolls was all that he sold. The food he cooked was honestly incredible. But he is where I got the pipe idea from. Wish I could say that it was a SGH original, but it's not my friend.

    Man see I was content enough to just get the idea of doing bologna on the Egg and then this vision of greatness. Wow!

    Great looking cook OP, just curious what didn't you like about it? Seems like you were unimpressed.

    That's hysterical!  Looks like a big ass hot dog!!  Which, I guess is what it is...

    Did it get a smokey flavoring or did it taste more like hot dog?

    I tried that along time ago. I rolled mine in mustard and brown sugar. When I finished I had a pan that got ruined  by melted sugar and still had a plain bolonga. It was fun though.
