Smoke the Beef Tongue:

Preheat your smoker to 200°F.
After 1 hour, take the Beef Tongue out of the fridge and place it on a rack in the smoker.
Smoke it for 4.5 to 5 hours until the meat is tender and infused with smoky goodness.
Prepare the Side Dish (Potatoes):

While the Beef Tongue is smoking, slice up some potatoes for a side dish.
Season the potato slices with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Toss them to coat evenly.
Cover the potatoes and place them in the smoker alongside the Beef Tongue to cook.
Serve and Enjoy:

Once everything is done, remove the Beef Tongue from the smoker and slice it.
Serve the Beef Tongue alongside the smoky, seasoned potatoes for a complete meal.
Enjoy this tender, flavorful Beef Tongue with its perfect smoky aroma and delicious side dish!
