Preheat the smoker or pellet grill to 250°F. Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and cut off any undesirable parts. Break it down into florets or steaks and wash under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Brush the cauliflower pieces with oil and season with your barbecue seasoning. Place the seasoned cauliflower on a grill matt (this one is my favorite). Other alternatives include a grilling basket, or a wire rack over a baking sheet. If you prefer to put the cauliflower directly onto the grill grates, be sure to cut the pieces large enough that they don't fall through.

Smoke the cauliflower over indirect heat for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness at the 45 minute mark. If it is fork tender, it is done! If you placed the cauliflower directly on a baking pan, consider flipping it halfway through to ensure the smoky flavor touches all of it. No need to flip it otherwise!

Serve! Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite smoked entree.
