Hey all, I got some ring bologna in the smoker. question is does anyone put it in an ice bath when it comes out or do you just hang to cool. I'm not sure how much the temp. will rise if I just hang it . don't want it to get too done
 
I'd ice bath it when it hits the temp you want.  That will keep the casing nice and prevent further cooking as you stated.

Looking forward to the finished results!
 
Some ice bath.... cold tap water bath for me for a few minutes... Ice need to be in a drink or to keep beer cold...lol

My 2 cents

If you're using actual ice in the bath, make sure you've got the meat temped because it drops quick. 154 to 100 takes just a minute or two.
