The cook, step by step.

   Step 1

   Done

   Cut the onions in the middle and store only the outer rings for the bacon onion bombs. Then mix the BBQ rub through the beef mince and knead balls of it. Then cut the cheddar cheese into cubes and put it in the middle of the balls beef mince. Make sure you got balls that fit right between the 2 onion rings. Then put the 2 onion rings together with the chopped between them and wrap it with bacon. If you have very large onions you may need 2 strips per onion bomb to wrap it properly.

   Then prepare the BBQ for indirect preparation and heat it up to a dome temperature of 140 degrees Celsius. When the BBQ reaches this temperature, add the smoking wood and place the bacon onion bombs on the grid. Then close the lid and let it smoke at this temperature for an hour.

   Step 4

   Done

   After an hour you smear the bacon onion bombs with the BBQ sauce and close the lid again for half an hour. Now the BBQ sauce has time to caramelize and you get a nice sticky effect. After half an hour you measure the internal temperature. If it's all right, you're about 70 degrees Celsius now. Haven't you reached this yet? Then close the lid and let them cook a little further.

   Internal temperature: 70°C
