Using knife and a spoon, create a 3"-deep cavity in cabbage, big enough to hold beer can. Discard core; reserve leftover cabbage from hollowing out cavity for another use. Using a brush, coat cabbage with oil, then season with salt and pepper.
• Pour out (or drink) half of the beer. Place beer can in cavity of cabbage so cabbage sits upright. Transfer to grill. Using brush, generously coat cabbage with 3 Tbsp. barbecue sauce. Cover grill and cook cabbage, brushing with remaining sauce every 15 minutes, until outer leaves are crispy and dark brown and cabbage is cooked through and tender when pierced with a paring knife, 45-50 minutes total.
• Remove cabbage from grill and discard can. Let cool slightly. Cut grilled cabbage in half lengthwise, then slice each half crosswise into 3/4" strips. Toss in a medium bowl with remaining 1 1/4 cups barbecue sauce (you should have about 6 cups barbecued cabbage). Serve as a side, or make Beer-Can Cabbage Sandwiches.
• Do Ahead

BUTTER-BASTED BBQ CABBAGE

Steps:

• Light a lidded barbecue. Let the flames die down and the coals turn ashen, then mound the coal up on one side or heat an oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Wash the cabbage of any grit or soil. Beat the butter with the rest of the ingredients and a pinch of salt.
• Open the outer leaves to expose the main ball, spread out the leaves and make a few big cuts into the heart. Smear the butter mix over the middle, draw the outer leaves back up, and secure with string (this will stop the leaves falling off ).
• Sit the cabbage in a roasting tin and cook in the barbecue or oven for 1 hr 15 mins until the outer leaves are charred and an inserted skewer doesn't offer too much resistance. Remove the cabbage and cut off the string, then remove the outer leaves to expose the cooked middle. Cut into wedges and baste with the butter in the tray while warm, so the cabbage soaks up the flavours.
