This was fun and easy and really tasty!

The ingredients:

1 five pound balogna
6 cheddar cheese sticks
Yellow mustard
Spice rub

Poke some holes with a honing steel and insert the cheese sticks. It's easier if you stick half in from each end.

Score the outside and slather with mustard.

Hit it with your favorite spice rub and get it on the cooker.

Oops! One more ingredient, after one hour, baste with some pickle juice.

Another hour later, and it's done. It has a nice smoky flavor and the spice goes great with the balogna and cheese. I can't wait to fry a couple of those slices and put them on a sandwich!

OK, now that's waaaay cool. The pickle juice baste is a very interesting touch.:thumb::thumb:
 
Looks beautiful Mister Bob! I'm not a huge fan of bologna but I'd hit that for sure! :-D
 
that looks wicked<what temp and how long was it on the cooker for?

About two hours at 210 degrees. I wanted to keep it low, so the cheese didn't all melt out, and the balogna is already cooked anyway. It really picked up a nice smoky flavor, I'll do it again when the leftovers are gone. In fact, I'm going to fry a few slices as soon as I'm done typing here! :-D
 
That's thinking outside the box, :clap2: I'm just not sure I would use my good honing steel to poke the holes. :shock::shock:

:confused:A honing steel is the perfect hole poker, and virtually indestructible! A quick wash and it's good as new! :thumb:
 
I have smoked small chubs of bologna before when camping. Have had people pass my campsite, look at whats cooking, and ask "Is that what I think it is?" My answer is yes, want to try some. And they love it. Makes a great appetizer too.:thumb:
