After reading all the post and having Rytek book I decided I wanted an all Beef Bologna.Sams" had 90/10 for $2.79 lb.,picked a package weighed an ounce over 5 lb.


I reground this using my small plate, Kitchener #12 with Cabelas Freeze Wrap


Ground and ready to season


Seasoned and fridge over night 


So now we are ready and decide on 2 chubs of Bologna and 1 Olive Loaf



Olive Loaf


I like Hog Rings 


3 Chubs getting ready to rest in the fridge


No pics of the smoke they were given 3 1/2 hrs of Apple with my AMNPS

Then into my oven at 170* F for 7 hrs to get an IT of 155*F



Into the ice bath til the temp was down to 75* 


Okay so ya know the drill by now fridge again

Ready to take a look at my first Bologna 


Cut these into 3 pieces only 2 of us here



another shot of the Olive Loaf


Thanks for looking

Lookin' good!

Bonus for the olive loaf. Haven't had that stuff in years, man... years. Actually sounds pretty good, doubly so since it's not that mass-produced made from whatever junk but should actually be something with some flavor and substance. How's it all taste?

You've got points from me!

Oh... so the cold wrap. Basically an ice pack around the auger on the grinder? How's it work for you?

Ragnar I didn't taste it today,had to take my truck up for its 30,000 service Ouch 6 htrs. so tomorrow will be fried with eggs.The freeze wrap works great I was trying to take a pic after,hands don't function some times.Tried taking a temp with instant read and it was in the low 50s I did not cool the grinder before grinding,so I give it a thumbs up.Thanks for the point I appreciate it

Very Nice Richie................. The bologna looks great

I like them olives. I always add a few of them to my salad when I'm up at the salad bar at my work cafe.......

Looks great!  My main complaint with mass produced bologna, is that it is so emulsified, that there is no texture.  I'm on the verge of making my own beef hot dogs & pepperoni, but looking at this may just put bologna in the lead for my next project. I'm thinking of adding a bunch of roasted garlic to the meat mix.  I'm picturing a 1" slice going on the grill with some Mucky Duck mustard and a pretzel bun.

Richie, that Bologna looks great!!  Olive loaf looks awesome too.  My dad used to always order that whenever we got sandwiches at the deli and as a kid I thought it was gross haha.  In the past few years I have begun to like olives and I love bologna so I am trying this for sure!  POINTS!!
