My Pops and my son have alpha-gal, so sliced Chicken Bologna is the best I could find. Here’s what 5 pounds of it looks like tied up and smoked! Was a a hit!

    Sorry if this sounds dumb but what is alpha-gal?

    Can you share how you did it? Let alone where you found chicken bologna.

    This looks great, but Alpha gal is my worst nightmare.

    My parents’ property is covered in lone star ticks (and a bunch of other ticks). Every time I’m there in the spring/summer, I’m wearing clothes covered in Permethrin. I’m bathed in deet, and I’m wearing a layer under my clothes that’s allegedly impenetrable by bugs.

    I usually do a half chub and just score it, but slices are interesting. Like a spiral cut ham, more surface area for seasoning and smoke.

    Love the idea of the slices…kinda like a spiral cut ham. I need to try this.

    That looks great but be careful with cross contamination and lunch meat. If your smoker has had beef in it, it can trigger a reaction. I cannot even smell meat being smoked or start itching. Also lunch meat contains carregeenan which contains alpha gal. He’s fortunate if he can eat it but be aware it doesn’t mean it’s alpha gal friendly. This disease sucks btw. I’ve had it a little over 5 years now.
