Several possiblities exist:
1. The shish-kabob without the meat is fine, but it
can be improved with the addition of pieces of
tofu that have been frozen, and thawed, and then
marinated is some soy sauce based liquid. Yummy!
2. Also possible is barbequeing rather fat slices of
potato. Friends of mine in Vermont used to do this
(although they were not vegetarians), and they
used the milk solid remains of clarified butter as
basting. Many things can be brushed on, of course.
The secret is to turn the potatoes frequently,
and not to let them dry out. Also yummy.

I haven't tried this, but I think that tempeh is of the
right consistency that it could easily be placed on a
shish-kebab skewer. Anyone out there that's tried it?

I have had good success barbequeing firm tofu. It's especially good with a Japanese miso glaze, the name of which I forget. If I remember when I get home, I'll post a recipe for the glaze (which I haven't made yet myself, but comes from a very good book). -- Ed Gould ucbvax!mtxinu!ed

I make "squashburgers" at outdoor barbecues. Just take a large summer
squash, slice it into 3/8" rounds, and toast it on the grill until it's
brown on each side. It usually toasts better if it's put on some
aluminum foil on top of the grill. (This can also serve as a spatter
shield if some meat-eaters are grilling hamburgers or the like.) As the
second side is toasting, I lay some cheese and onions on top and then
pop the whole thing into a bun. Yummy. You can also make a mixture of
grated mushrooms, onions, cheese, wheat germ, eggs, and breadcrumbs (if
needed to hold the whole thing together) into little burger-like patties,
but I've found that, although they taste great, they always actually fall
apart unless fried in a skillet. Maybe you'll have better luck.
