When you go to the deli counter to get a slab o' bologna, ask them to cut you a chunk about 3" or 4" thick. Adapted from a cookbook I found at our beach rental this summer. Be sure to build a nice hot, smoky fire in your grill...more smoky flavor is better here.
The spice rub will keep for some time in your spice cabinet. You could apply the rub to the bologna and wrap it in plastic wrap a couple of days in advance of cooking, or freeze the whole slab. Leftovers of this recipe make OUTSTANDING lunchbox sandwiches.
Grilled Bologna
Makes 12 servings
6 tbsp spice rub (see below)
2 cups hickory chips, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1-2 cups BBQ sauce
sandwich rolls or sliced bread
Rub bologna all over with spice rub. Heat your grill for indirect grilling (heat source on the side, no heat directly under the food to be cooked). Add the wood chips, place the bologna, cover the grill and smoke 1 hour without opening the grill.
To serve, slice 1/4" thick. Spread as much BBQ sauce as desired on the rolls and top with bologna.
