I am going to do a whole roll of bologna on the egg. I am going to put a hole through the middle and fill with bbq sauce. What temp and how long should i let it cook. I was thinking about 3-350 degrees for about 4 hours.

    That sounds about right, maybe a little shorter on time. I did a chub of bologna that way at last year's Waldorf Eggfest. It's an interesting change of pace.[p]Jim

    That was some real good stuff too Jim. I'll never forget the look on my wifes face when I told her I wanted to smoke the bologna. What was that teriyaki sauce you drizzled on that ?[p]Lord Beasely

    Orio Kid,[p]You darn near cant overcook that stuff. In fact I like mine done a bit more than the 3 or 4 hours. Its a real interesting change of pace. Try getting some of the garlic bologna or other "gourmet" bologna, if there actually is such a thing. I did some of the garlic bologna over the 4th of July this year and it disappeared as soon as it hit the plate.[p]Troy

    Orio Kid,
    I'm guessing that is indirect at 300-350? How is the smoke penetration on bologna? I don't care for the 'Q sause, but I would like to try smoking some.

    "I'll never forget the look on my wifes face when I told her I wanted to smoke the bologna."[p]Maybe she didn't think you were talking about cooking. :) (sorry, I just couldn't resist).[p]I don't remember trying smoked bologna at the EggFest. I must have missed out on it.

    It was there! I used the garlic bologna. Pretty darn tasty stuff. I did about a 3 lb. piece.[p]Jim

    Orio Kid,[p]I think that's too hot. You really can't undercook it and it's hard to overcook it but 4 hours at 350 might just do it.[p]I did one in Lynchburg for about 4 hours but below 300.[p]What's the point of the BBQ sauce? I just put a little Tony's on mine.

  • Orio Kid,
    You can basically smoke it as long as you want.. Get it as smokey as you want.. 4 hours is plenty of smoke for me..
    And again like everyone has said not that high,.. [p]When you cook it higher the outside tends to want to seperate from the rest of the chunk, as it cools..[p]Also nothing is better than slicing a 1/4 inch slice and frying it in butter for a sandwich, and if you poke holes in its not as nice a slice..[p]I just did a 4 pound chunk and next up... Mortadella..[p]
