BBQ for vegetarians.

Hear me out. The first lab BBQ in almost 2 years, so I am psyched.
However, I picked-up two trainees that are vegetarian. We'll have some baked beans and a salad for them, but I've been looking into smoking options.
The Great Google suggests tofu and Jack Fruit.
Anyone have any experience/advice on these or other suggestions?

i dont know about smoked, but jack fruit is suppose to be a really good substitute to pulled pork. i think most recipes do it stove top or in oven

Not really smoking, but I love grilling corn on the cob with butter and tajin on it. I have to keep myself from eating over two cobs

I've done tons of veggies on my rectec and they come out great - onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, carrots....you could put pretty much anything on there. I think you could impart some good favor to tofu if you grilled it. I don't know jack about Jack Fruit, so I can't comment on that one.

You could always ask them. Not trying to be a smart arse, I’m serious. It will be the easiest thing to do. They will more than likely rather get what they like vs hoping someone can guess what they like.

Good suggestions especially portobello mushrooms. They're very "meaty". You can make a burger with them.
Grilled pineapple is delicious, so think about some fruits as well vegetables.
ETA: Grilled tomatoes are really good as well.

You could get some lab created sausage or burgers. I've been messing around with jackfruit but I'm not sold on it. Tofu needs a sauce for flavor and you need to read how to prep it for good results. All the veggie suggestions are good but like the previous poster said, ask them.

Smoked eggplant dip (think babaghanoush but smoke the eggplant) or a grilled corn salad with a red wine vinegar type dressing like below but leave out the bacon obviously.

Need details here please sir. See a couple of videos for smoked pumpkin soup.

I did some cooking for an "After the wedding, next day get-together" and my brother-in-law asked me to cook some all vegetable kebabs he had made the night before.
They were comprised of onion, different color bell peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, zucchini and yellow squash and cherry tomatoes.
I love grilled vegetables and do them fresh from my garden and one of my favorites is grilled okra, but I also grill squash, broccoli, green beans, Brussel sprouts, eggplant, etc.

they put whole pumpkins (smaller ones) down in the coals and let them roast. took them out and smashed them on the table with the back of the shovel. you just dig out the seeds and then scoop up the flesh

I tried it once. Once. That’s the nastiest garbage ever. It’s not just bad it’s terrible.

Portobellos are my favorite especially if you don’t want to eat meat
But I’m finding out most veggies are good on the pit.
I need to start trying fruits.
Thank you
And didn’t mean to be ugly on the other thread.

yes jackfruit is terrible.
breadfruit would be better but hardly worth the effort to find
stick with starchy or “meaty” vegetables
some obvious ones not yet mentioned are white potatoes and sweet potatoes
