Friday is National Bologna Day. If you haven't tried smoking bologna on your egg, it is quite possibly the simplist cook you can do.

Get a 2-3 pound chub from your grocery or butcher, score the top, put on your favorite rub and smoke around 250 for about three hours. I cubed mine and simmered in sauce before making a sandwich but you can slice and fry.

    BOLOGNA.jpg



    INGREDIENTS:
    1 4 Lbs Bologna, Chub, I Used Smithfield pork/chicken
    Marinade:
    1/3 Cup Italian Salad Dressing
    1/3 Cup Favorite BBQ Sauce
    Add when placing on BGE
    Some Favorite Rub




    Procedure:
    1 Score the chub down the sides about 1/4 inch deep and about 6 cuts. Cut the chub into 3 pieces of about equal size. Took a Chinese wooden chop stick and pierced several holes to absorb the marinade. Marinated overnight in the refrigerator.
    2 Next day, took out of the refrigerator and sprinkled some rub & cooked indirect, on vertical axis, at 325°F for about 1 1/2 hours. Added a few apple wood chunks for smoke. Pulled at 170°F. Basted with marinade every 20-30 minutes. Serve with favorite BBQ sauce.
    3 Also , when sliced, makes a great sandwich.

    Swibirun: Ken F over at the BBQN forum has an interesting trick he does with his. "The cheese recipe is using the rotel tomatoe, velveta, and hamburger dip recipe. I cut a piece of 3/4" pvc pipe about 10" long and bevel one end and the I cut a 3/4" wooden dowel long enough to push the plug out of the pvc. I make a vertical hole all the way through the chub bologna about middle ways. Save the plug for latter. Then I make horizontal holes in the center of the chub from each end to the hole in the middle. I then stuff the chub with cheese dip and plug each end using toothpicks to hold the plug in. Spray the bologna with pam for a binder to hold the rub on and the rest is done like the video." I haven't tried it yet, but it does sound wicked good.

    Buster BBQ,

    You just made me very hungry!!! I love Bologna, especially fried bologna but your pictures look fantastic. I am definitely going to try that maybe even this weekend.

    I just created another bookmark!
