Smoking Bologna

[willk94ever]

Do you have to score it or will it smoke ok just cut in half length ways? Im new to the game and want to get it right. Thanks

You can go either way. If you want more barky crusty bits then cut it in half. If you're wanting to slice it thin for sandwiches I'd leave it whole and just score it a bit.

There really isn't a wrong way to go with bologna.

Thanks, I ended up cutting it in half length ways and scoring one. Turned out great.

Glad to hear it. Bologna is one of my favorite quick smokes.

To help rub adhere to meat, rub bologna  with yellow mustard. Then apply a generous, even layer of rub. 2 Place 2 to 3 fist-size hickory wood chunks on top of unlit charcoal in a smoker; top with lit charcoal. Smoke bologna  at about 225 degrees, 3 hours.

Thanks. I will have to try that with the next one. I am going to get a Garlic Bologna next time.
