INSTRUCTIONS

'Smoke and Spice' and Chris Schlesinger's books cover smoking vegetables.
Most vegetables can be smoked with tremendous results. Use temps of
200-220F. The time depends on the size of the pieces. Here are some general
guidelines gleaned from Smoke and Spice. They should be rubbed with oil or
Italian dressing before cooking so that they don't dry out of stick to the
grill. Most vegetables can also be grilled directly at higher temps but
this is a different flavor than smoking.
Whole sweet or whote potatoes- prick with fork, rub with oil smoke 2 hours.
Quartered potatoes-rub with oil and season, 40 minutes.
Large onions- Cut in half, wrap in foil and cook 30 minutes- open foil
flat, season, and continue smoking for 40 minutes.
