Smoked Cabbage

Smoked Cabbage

(225 for 2 hrs then 300-350 for 3 hrs)

Cut the hard core out of the center of the cabbage.
Fry the bacon slices and crumble into small pieces. Saute the onion. Add the bacon crumbles and ¼ C of the BBQ sauce to the onions. Spoon this mixture into the cavity of the cabbage.
Preheat smoker to 225 F. Placed the cabbage in a small aluminum foil pan. Baste the outside of the cabbage with some of the remaining BBQ sauce. Smoke the cabbage for approximately 2 hours basting with BBQ sauce every ½ hour. After the 2 hours, wrap the cabbage in heavy foil leaving an opening at the top. Melt the butter and combine with the chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the top of the cabbage. Place the foil wrapped cabbage back on the smoker. Try for to 350 F. until it becomes soft, 2 ½ – 4 hours.
Spoon the stuffing into a bowl, chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and toss with the onion/bacon stuffing. Add some extra BBQ sauce.
