1 medium white onion
4 slices of thick smoked bacon
1 cup of BBQ sauce, divided

8. Stir in ½ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce.
9. When it all gets to bubbling, pour it all into the cabbage cavity, filling it up.
10. Place that in a tray in the smoker for 2 hours at 225 F/107 C.
11. Baste it with BBQ sauce every 30 minutes.
12. After 2 hours, increase the temperature to 350 F/176 C.
