A lot of folks asked about this last time I made it, so here's a tutorial.


You need a sharp knife, minced garlic, butter, salt, pepper, and cabbage. (duh)


Carefully cut the core out of the cabbage.


Use a fork to hollow out a fist-sized area inside the cabbage.


Add salt, pepper, a sitck of butter cut into small pieces and minced garlic.  I use about 3-4 tablespoons of garlic per head of cabbage.  I also added a few dashes of ground chipotle peppers.


Double-wrap the cabbage in heavy-duty foil.


On to the smoker, next to the pork butts.


Smoke for 4 hours at 200-225*.  Watch out for steam and hot butter while handling.


The cabbage will have steamed itself nicely inside the foil.


Chop and serve!

Yeah, it might counteract the heart-attack-on-a-platter AKA smoked butt. Does the cabbage pick up any flavor from the hickory (you DO use hickory, right)? Or would you give it a shot of Liquid Smoke (apologizing in advance if that is sacrilegious to any of you).

Do you just love how people take a perfectly good recipe and start tinkering?

Oak for this cook, sometimes mesquite, sometimes apple or pecan.  It picks up a little smoke flavor, not much due to the foil.  

Liquid Smoke is from Hell and shall not be brought into my house.  

Feel free to tinker, I am by no means the inventor of smoked cabbage.  I got the idea from one of the guys on the Texas BBQ Rub message board.  I am going to try smoked apples next.  Apples with the core cut out and filled with red hots and brown sugar.  Yum!

I like cabbage but the wife cant stand it so I dont boil it too often.  I do smoke and grill out a bunch and this seems to be a trouble free way to get a cabbage fix.

Holy crap that looks disgusting.  

Wow - tastes certainly do differ.  I wouldn't eat that on a bet.

Your toilet is going to be hating you.    I killed a third of a pumpkin pie and I am in the same boat.

Fetal Position + sweating = no more pumpkin pie

Try it before you knock it.  The variety of stuff you can cook on a smoker is surprising.  Smoked veggies are pretty tasty.  Smoked cheese is really good as well.  I will sometimes smoke a block of cheddar when the pit is down to coals and the pit temp is around 100*.  Smoked chicken, smoked cheddar cheese and a fresh roll makes for a damn tasty sammich.
