Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- Bologna
- 2 lbs
- Barbecue rub
- 1/4 cup
- Wood chips (hickory or applewood recommended)
- 2 cups, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- Buns
- 4-6
- Barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup
- Mustard
- 1/4 cup
- Pickles
- 1 cup, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- While the smoker is heating, score the bologna in a diamond pattern, making cuts about 1/4 inch deep. This allows the flavors to penetrate and creates a beautiful presentation.
- Generously rub the barbecue rub all over the bologna, ensuring it gets into the score marks for maximum flavor.
- Place the bologna directly on the smoker grates, and add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box to create smoke.
- Smoke the bologna for 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Once done, remove the bologna from the smoker and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to retain its juices.
- Slice the bologna into 1/2 inch thick slices and serve on toasted buns.
- Top each sandwich with barbecue sauce, a dollop of mustard, and a few slices of pickles for a delicious bite.
