Bologna and hot dogs!
I learned a couple of things 1- Bologna tastes just like the hot dogs. 2- Got to watch it closer and not cook as long since it is thin.
I know I have been gone awhile, but it seems that there has not been a contest in just over a year. Have the weekly contests just run their course? I know I did not participate as often I would have liked, but I did enjoy it. Are there any plans on restarting them?
Been away for awhile, and now I am back! Bought a another smoker (Keep losing them!)
So for my first return post I cooked up some Country Style Ribs with baked potato, and candied carrots.
I was recently given a couple of deer roasts and I am seeking advice on smoking them. Would I smoke them the same as a pork roast? beef roast? At what internal temperature should it be in order for it to be considered safe? What seasonings would best go with it?

I wished now I had better planned and took more photos so I could have entered this in this weeks contest. Country Style Ribs, smoked at 175 dgrees for 45 min then finished off at 350 degrees to an IT of 165 degrees. Rested at 20 min. BBQ sauce is Curly's Hickory. (Still working on my own blend).
Turned out GREAT! Better than the first attempt. Only complaint from the wife was she said it was a little dry. Would injecting fluids before cooking help with this? Thank You to all of you who put your tips on here for us beginners to learn from.
