Gravity Pepperoni Rolls

Hey everyone, today we are going to make THE West Virginia classic, pepperoni rolls, and we’re going to do it on the Char-Griller Gravity 980 smoker. If you’re from West Virginia or you’ve driven through, chances are you’ve seen or heard about the pepperoni roll. It’s a simple sandwich that will absolutely bring a smile to any face, and oddly enough, due to some State health codes, it is illegal to sell in some states because it is considered raw meat being cooked inside the bread, something to do with shelf stability. Either way, it is delicious on a cold day, and today I’m going to show you the simple way my mom taught me to make them. I hope you give them a shot and enjoy them. If you do, make sure you let me know what you think of them.
