    For broccoli, only smoke with pimento wood.

    Call me crazy, but I like my broccoli raw. Dip in hummus for some protein and flavour. I could eat it daily. Mmmmm......

    If you’re going to cook broccoli, best not to overlook. Mushy broccoli, like mushy asparagus or brussel sprouts, is most unpleasant.

    Don't listen to the naysayers. They probably don't like liver either. Or spinach. Or kale. Or Brussels sprouts.

    I always have broccoli on hand. Raw is ok in a salad or with a dip, but no more than ok. Mushy is not a good thing, but I do prefer tender to raw.

    I haven't tried smoking it, just steaming, sautéing or direct grilling. I like it steamed the best as it's easier to get it cooked enough without burning it and still leaving it undercooked as sometimes happens with sautéing or grilling. An indirect smoke sounds promising. Wonder if too much smoke is a possibility as with poultry. I would assume so. Maybe a chunk of maple or alder? Indirect at whatever temp you were cooking the protein at. Seasoned with s&p or maybe some nice Greek seasoning.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Set up BGE for indirect using grape wood
    Oil a 6 x 9 pan
    Use one half cup of water
    Break broccoli into smaller florets and place in pan
    Sprinkle with your favorite seasoning
    Place in egg at 300F for 15-20 minutes or until tender
    Remove from pan and place in butcher paper
    Throw in trash.


    Dang it!  You beat me to it @YukonRon . . . or a version of this.  Click on thread, quickly scan . . . almost skipped your post because it looked legit.  

    My initial thought was to wrap each broccoli floret in a piece of bacon, creating a bacon ring.  Cook until bacon is as you desire.  remove broc from bacon.  eat bacon ring, throw broccoli away. 

    I dont mind broccoli.  I have never smoked it.  I wanted to get around to doing cauliflower like wings.  I think @Thatgrimguy posted something along those lines.

    Egged maybe in a cheese casserole ?

    I like broccoli steamed with garlic salt and raw in salads or veggie dip

    Didn't add any smoke, but it sure turned out good!  A bit of olive oil, salt and pepper...

    Cowboy lump smoke would pair nicely with the broccoli. Don’t wait for the white smoke to clear, just throw it on as soon as it starts billowing.

    Cut into big chunks, toss with oil and dizzy pig, grill on high heat but leave a bit to bite, toss into a bowl with more dizzy pig and some butter; the outcome is pretty tasty and works well with quartered brusselsprouts too.
