Full ‘o Baloney

Relatively speaking, I’m a newbie in this space, so apologies if this recipe/technique has been recently discussed ‘n dissected. But I grabbed a 3.8-lb bologna chub from a local meat market and got to work by basically using the blueprint from name-your-YouTube video:

1. Scored it (diagonal crisscross, top to bottom)
2. Slathered it (yellow mustard)
3. Seasoned it (Killer Hogs THE BBQ Rub)
4. Smoked it (at 250 for 3 hours over a cherry/pecan combo)
5. Sauced it (with Blues Hog Original and let it tack for 30 minutes)
6. Sliced it
7. Served it

Awesome for sandwiches (throw those “steaks” on a hot grill or flattop for a minute or two), but I had a big crowd out back, so I kept reloading a butcher block of “Adult Lunchables.” Balogna, crackers, couple kinds of cheese, fire-roasted red bells, sweet ‘n spicy pickles and mustard options.

You’re really working flavors here and not at all worried about temp, though 140 is a general target. You can get there in about 3 hours at 250. Last half hour gets the glaze.

Super fun cook.

That looks fantastic!

Smoked bologna is super underrated.  Yours is first class! 

If you get a chance, give hot dog burnt ends a shot.  It’s in that same “Gourmet hillbilly” vein.

I tasted smoked bologna aka "Tulsa Tenderloin" at Elmers in Tulsa years ago. Pretty darn good. 
Have never cooked it but have wanted to try it. Will have to up it on the priority list.
I don't do facebook, however on the Tulsa Grill Store/Hastybake page smoked bologna makes a regular appearance.
Nice job on that cook, I am sure I could help you mow that down.

Maybe watched 8-10 vids and there are classic names out there. “Mississippi Round Steak” is a fave.

Naw, man. I have, but cheated this time. They come halved in a jar with oil. Went that route. The sweet ‘n spicy pickles are Famous Dave’s. Shoulda mentioned that earlier.

we love those pickles, have a jar here myself
