My wife works for a law firm in Tampa. Every year the local bar gets together for a pig roast hosted by the judges. The lawyers have booths with appetizers, sides and desserts that are BBQ themed and need to feed about 350 people. I told my wife there is no better place to get some really great ideas than a bunch of BBQ degenerates on this forum. Booths are also judged for the "best pig sty". Any unique suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Different, but great!


    Pork, Bologna, Richard Fl



    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.

    Richard where do you get the chubs and are they raw?
    I thought that Bologna was cooked.
    Thanks for your reply in advance.

    I buy them in Save-A-Lot here in Melbouring Fl and they are $4.39 for a 4 # chub. Mine are ready to slice, I just prefer to BBQ them.

    DO some crazy bacon crust pizza. Was it the hoggzilla or whatever you guys called it? Bacon crust, top with cheese, and maybe various pork products
