Smoked Bologna

[TheHojo]

Giving this a try this weekend -

Any type of Bologna I should by or just get a chunk/chub of bologna from the local grocery store

Thank you

Any will do. I like Kretschmar, when I can find it. Boars head is good too. I have been known to use BAR S, which is about as cheap as you can get. Still turns out good.

I only have access to Bar S. I'd love to try a better brand.

I buy 3 or 5lb chubs. Either score, season and smoke...

or filet, stuff, roll, wrap in bacon then smoke.

Same problem here. I do find a good deal on the good stuff once in a while. Check the deli counter, instead of where they have the lunch meat. They generally have better stuff there, but it is more expensive.

Great idea, I'll check. Thanks Josh!

Score, slather with mustard, apply favorite rub and smoke at 225 for a few hours depending on the size of your bologna. Keep in mind that much like a hot dog, bologna is precooked. Got to love me some emulsified forcemeat! 10 pounder below is from Restaurant Depot.

Original SPAM, unless you’re on a sodium reduction plan. If so, never mind

I prefer double smoking Berks Garlic ring bologna. Judging by the pics i am assuming this is not the type of bologna being discussed.

Tip: I find a lot of ring bologna brands to be a bit too soft in texture. I poke a few holes in the casing to allow moisture to drip out, this gives it a "meatier" texture. Just don't smoke too hot or you'll cook all the fat out. Keep the IT below 140F.

Bar S is the bottom of the barrel, I know, I’ve smoked a ton of it for my old man, but if you have access buy Wunderbar.... It’s literally the the prime rib of bologna...

Where does one find that brand? We get to the Tulsa area frequently.

WalMart deli used to carry it. It is good stuff.

I like Purnell's old fashioned bologna but it is hard to find in my area even though it's made in KY. I usually buy Heritage Farm which is Kroger brand.

Walmart, Walmart Market, and always Reasors...

It really is bologna on a whole different level...

What part of oklahoma do you live in? The softer the bologna the better it smokes. Armour German bologna is about the best for smoking.

I like to perforate the 3lb chub with a skewer and then soak in beer for a couple days. I think it adds a nice flavor. Then smoke a few hours at 225*. Slice a nice hunk off and throw it on the grill or in a cast iron pan. Damn, my mouth is watering!

 

[TheHojo]

anyone have a good cajun rub they might suggest for the bologna?
