description BBQ Bologna Overview

BBQ bologna is a barbecue preparation in which a whole bologna sausage, usually sold as a large unsliced log, is smoked before being cut into thick slices or chunks. The surface may be scored or seasoned so smoke and sauce adhere during cooking, and the finished meat is served as a sandwich filling or barbecue plate item. The style is particularly associated with Oklahoma, where it is sometimes called Oklahoma prime rib, and is useful for understanding regional American barbecue traditions.
