Main Ingredients

Wood Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bologna

    Start by slicing the bologna into 1/4 inch thick rounds. This will allow for better smoke penetration and enhance the flavor.

  2. 2

    Season the Bologna

    In a small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Mix well. Rub the olive oil over the bologna slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then, sprinkle the seasoning mix generously over each side of the bologna slices.

Smoking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help create a longer-lasting smoke. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  2. 4

    Smoke the Bologna

    Once the smoker is ready and the wood chips are soaked, add the wood chips to the smoker. Place the bologna slices directly on the smoker rack. Close the smoker and let it cook for about 2 hours, or until the bologna reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Smoked Bologna

    Once smoked, remove the bologna from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into desired portions and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite barbecue sauce or as a sandwich filling.
