But for real, never heard of smoked bologna. And this is coming from a guy who's grandmother thought a well balanced breakfast called for fried spam.

When we lived in tulsa, it was on the menu at most all bbq places. It wasn't bad at all

Just ground up for A5 Wagyu picanha for some meatloaf. Should be delicious.

OK, Fishwater, we get it!

Grilling some marinated tri-tip steaks now. The best "lower-cost" cut of steak around!

My old man is in the hospital with a staph infection in his spine. He’s been there for two weeks now but getting better. So, I’m smoking two chickens and taking him some smoked chicken and sides for a little something different than hospital. Can’t beat smoked chicken. Cheap, easy and delicious .

Everyone on this board, including me, needs to have their cardiologist on speed dial. Before you say that you don’t have a cardiologist, just wait because you will.

Doing two of those tomorrow. Those look excellent.

I've had a craving for smoked meatloaf so I'm going this afternoon and buy a 5# chub of ground chuck and put several together and freeze some. Doesn't cost any more electricity or smoke to do multiple ones so may as well.

Also found out awhile back that those big Stouffers Frozen Mac n Cheese sides are darn good after you smoke them for 3-4 hours, stirring often to get smoke flavor on all of it. Thaw it first and then just slide it in the smoker uncovered and stir occasionally. Bacon bits and jalapenos are good stirred into it too

You are reading my mind. I always follow Kosmo’s smoked meatloaf recipe.

The weather looked terrible for tomorrow so I decided to cook today.

Fortunately I have a covered cooking porch. Unless it's raining sideways I'm ok.

Same here. I just didn’t feel like grilling in a thunderstorm

Just spatchcocked a yard pimp for the first time. A while back I made blue moon chicken wings, trying it with the whole chicken today. Letting it sit in some blue moon and oranges until I cook it this evening.

Those look great man. How long did you do that foil boat? I overdid my baby backs, pulled pork came out nice.

2-2-1 competition rib method. This is how a lot of bbq contest guys do their ribs.

2 hours directly on the grate with whatever rub you want to use, then I put pats of butter and brown sugar and a little sauce on each side of some foil and wrap them tightly for 2 hours face down. After that I open up the foil and make a boat and sauce up the tops. I make a sauce of plain BBQ sauce, a little apple juice and brown sugar and leave them on the smoker for about another hour or so until the sauce glazes. 275 degrees.

They come out super tender with an explosion of flavor. It’s the only way I do ribs.

ETA: these are St. Louis style spare ribs. Cooking time may be shorter with baby backs.

Local grocery store has a 30 lb box of wings for 23.99. Catch is that they’re frozen in one block I’ve got to thaw the entire 30 lbs, I don’t have that many friends.

May be too late now, but I’d get a new reciprocating saw blade ( one of those 12 inchers) and go to town on that chunk of wings!

And for smoked BBQ bologna enthusiasts, the next time you on I55, stop in at the Marathon at the Pickens/Lexington exit. It’s a 1/2” or so thick slice on Texas toast.
You’ll thank me later!

I bought a box and stuck it in the freezer. Meat market guy told me to thaw the whole box, cook what I want and divide the remaining wings up into gallon freezer bags, fill the bags with water and refreeze. He said that by freezing them in water , they won’t freezer burn. I’ve never tried that but I might.
