I'm doing a few racks of BB's today (thank you, AZRP, for the membrane tip!) and want to do a side of onions. I was thinking of just EVOO and wrapping in foil, but I recall back a ways of some who use DP spices. Any tips on a method... whole, sliced, oil, butter, etc.? TIA!!~~

    I like to core a small hole in the top of a peeled onion, vidalia or texas sweet, add some butter, tablespoon water, a bullion cube flavor depending what you are cooking seasoning/rub of choice and wrap in HDAF. Throw on the BGE for an hour or so.

    I grill onions everytime I make steak or burgers. Just thick slices, evoo, salt and pepper and onto the grill, direct. They char quickly so keep an eye on them.

    either quartered and skewered (marinade them first). or cut a bowl on top and add butter, balsamic, spice, maybe a boullion. wrap in foil and bake. i like the ones skewered

    I like the traditional method of cooking on a grill, but I start off differently that the average cook. Here is what I do.

    Step 1 - No photo, but take an onion and slice a little off the bottom so it will sit upright, and slice off the top. Wrap it in clear wrap and micro wave for 2 minutes on high. Wait a minute, then zap it for 1 more minute. Let it rest a couple of minutes. This excites the cells and loosen everything up a little.

    Step 2 - Remove the clear wrap, slice some wagon wheel cuts into the onion, add some olive oil.

    Step 3 - Add some of your favorite beef bullion. I like Herb Ox.

    Step 4 - Transfer the seasoned onion to some foil and move to the pit on a raised grate, with the top of the foil open so it can get some good smoke flavor. After 15 minutes of so, close the foil.

    Step 5 - Close the foil for about 45 minutes, check it for tenderness.

    If you want, you can set it into a small cast iron skillet, this acts as a heat shield and makes moving it around easy.

    Some great idea's in this thread. I have done sliced onions in Italian dressing on aluminum foil for burgers. Very tasty.
