Ingredients:

1 cup

Kosher Salt

1 cup

Paprika

1 tbsp

Chili Powder

2 tsps

Garlic Powder

1 tsp

Onion Powder

1 tsp

Black Pepper

1 tsp

Dried Basil

1 tsp

Ground Cumin

1 tsp

Turmeric

Directions:

1

Prepare your cooker to cook indirectly at 235 degrees F using medium cherry wood for smoke flavor

2

Slice off a thin piece off the bologna lengthwise so it has a flat bottom and won't roll around

3

Score the top in a series of thin slashes in a diamond pattern

4

Season the bologna liberally with the barbecue rub

5

Put the bologna in the cooker and cook for at least 3 hours but up to 5 hours

6

It's already fully cooked, so the recipe is very flexible, but as it cooks longer it will get smokier and develop a better outside crust

7

Transfer the bologna to a cutting board

8

Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes

9

Slice to serve

This rub is a little more complex than Barbecue Rub #67 and has great color as it cooks on the food

11

I like to put this one in the food processor until it's finely ground

12

It makes for a smooth texture but also takes care of breaking up the lumps in the dried brown sugar

13

You may want to dry the sugar the day before

14

This preparation is a little more complicated, but don't be afraid to use on whatever you're cooking

15

Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade

16

Process for 15 seconds

The rub may be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 months
