Has anyone here smoked or grilled a head of cabbage? Ideas would be much appreciated.
I smoked a head of cabbage awhile ago. I cut the core out and filled it with cooked, chopped bacon, melted butter and diced onion. Using foil, I made a ring for the cabbage to sit in and not roll around. Smoked at 225-250. I don't recall how long it took.

Dude, I'm liking the sound of that.
I've grilled it a couple times in thick slices and it all falls apart.
Maybe I could hold it all together with bacon

So going to try this, seems like you would get a new flavor from cabbage

Not making it today but this is how i usually do it. Stuffed with sautéed onion with either cooked bacon or ham. Smoked at 275F for 3-4 hours. Brush it with duck fat every 45 minutes or an hour.

I have grilled it before with onions and bacon and stuff...Not impressed...Maybe I didn't do it right...
Never tried the smoked/grilled method on cabbage. My wife makes one of the best cabbages on the stove top... that's hers.
I think if you "Smoke" cabbage it'll get wilty and probly degrade a little to quick to be good food...but on the other hand if you "Cold Smoke" it for ~1 hour then let it ferment for a couple months it might turn into kraut laced with majic. Im not sure how the smoke would effect the ferment process.
What I have done just a few times is to 1/4 the head (with the core intact to help keep it all together) and slather it with a infusion/concoction of EVOO, S&P, minced garlic & onion, brushed into the cut faces. Then grilled H'n'F ,direct ,face up so the infusion runs in and not out.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to make it, but thanks for the ideas. Hopefully it'll happen soon.
Done this one several times with outstanding results.

Real easy to change up the ingredients.
Thanks for that. I actually have all of Raichlen's books. I didn't even think to look.
I'll bet most of us here do as well.
I spent almost 10 years as a moderator on his board
and they just up and decided to turn it into a reddit.
Problem was, they neglected to include all of the previous posts and content.
A tremendous amount of information and recipes were lost forever.
I blame Workman Publishing.
After Peter Worman died everything took a turn for the worse.
