Smoked Old Fashioned Bung Bologna

Boar & More was a meat packing plant here in Wapakoneta, OH. I remember my uncle, who had a slaughter house & grocery, used to get his smoked hams from there; this was back in the 1950’s. They were still in business when we moved here in 1973. They bought their meat from a large stock yard that had weekly auctions. I am not sure when but I think it was shortly after we moved here both businesses closed up.

Kah’s original butcher shop was down town but moved to its present location near the Boar & More plant sometime before Boar & More closed. The owner of Boar & More knew Dick Kah liked their old fashioned bung bologna so he gave him the recipe when they closed up.

Dick is now deceased but his sons & family continue running Kah Meats. They still make the bung bologna, the best I can buy. They had not made any for awhile but I seen they had some the other day. I went in Saturday and bought a chunk, just under 3 lbs.

I cut 3 thick slices for fried bologna. The rest I cut half into 1 inch chunks & seasoned with Penzey’s rib rub & the other half I sliced half way through, crisscrossed and seasoned with some Dijon mustard and Cajun seasoning.

I smoked both at 170 deg. for 1 ½ hours the went to 225 deg. In a half hour I pulled the cut up and did the chunk another ½ hour. Both were tasty and will make some good snacks with some aged cheddar and my smoked Cajun crackers.

    I grew up in Lima, Ohio and bought B&M Bologna up until the mid to late 90's. It was without a doubt, the best Old Fashioned Bologna on the planet. Walters Meats next door also makes a very good product, and I know that family quite well. Joe was a great friend and just passed away recently.
    I am experimenting with my own homemade recipe now, but need some help in terms of what temps and how long to smoke on a Traeger. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I think my dad may have the B&M Bologna recipe from a guy who worked there and made the bologna.

      Thanks it is great bologna! I will have to give Walters bologna a try. I have just smoked it on my Traeger in different cuts and made it like burnt ends that was good. I smoked it, cut in chunks for 1 1/2 hours then added it to a foil pan, added BBQ sauce and set the temp to about 300 until nice and brown! Don
