Smoked Cabbage
We've been doing smoked cabbages since... uh... about 1992, I guess it was, when we started having a particular large group campout each fall. There are lots of ways of doing them, but they always go over well.
Core out your cabbage, but don't go all the way through to the bottom. Using about 1/2 to a whole stick butter for each head of cabbage, stuff in some butter, a crumbled chicken bouillon cube, some more butter, another crumbled cube, and top it off with butter. Get creative - you can also add chopped jalapenos, habs, onions, chopped smoked sausage, shredded cheese, all manner of things. Wrap the stuffed cabbage in a couple of layers of HD foil, and set in the smoker with whatever else you're cooking. Be sure to keep the core side up so the butter doesn't run out. You can leave a small opening in the top if you'd like the get some smoke into it, or seal it completely. Some leave it open for the first two hours, and then close it up for the last three. It's easily overpowered, so we usually seal it completely. You can twist foil into a little ring about 4 inches across and form a base for the wrapped cabbage to keep it stable, if you like.
By the time the ribs are done, the cabbage is done. About 5 to 6 hours at smoker temps of 235 to 250 will do it. When the bundle is soft and squishy when you squeeze on it, it's done. About 1 1/2 hours at 350 works too.
We've usually done the butter/bouillion/jalapeno/onion approach, but I'm contemplating trying a stuffing of maple sausage and chopped apples along with that next time we do some.

Instead of using the butter, you CAN use about 1/4 cup of chicken broth and a couple of tablespoons of Butter Buds along with the assorted veggies. Not as good as dosing it up with real butter, IMHO, but it DOES make it perfectly legal for those watching their weight and/or blood sugar. When we did these for some friends from Belgium a few years ago, we did two with full butter and one with the broth, and both were very tasty.
