One of my coworkers had brought up the idea of smoking large sweet Vidalia onions to make a bloomin onion type thing without the grease. has anyone attempted this before? I do plan on trying it next week on my stretch of days off, but was wondering if anyone with previous experience could point me in the right direction

You can't produce a "fried" result! You could slice the bloom, soak in water to aid separation, dredge in egg wash and coat with a panko/flour mixture. Season either the egg wash or the coating. Cook in a hot smoker, not low and slow, until brown and crispy.
I did the attached photo for a grits contest in Dillard. Grits balls were done in egg wash & panko, then browned in smoker. Tasty and they did look fried. Got 3rd place!

i would think that if you cooked it in a smoker until they were "done" you'd have a lot of limp, wimpy onions all attached to a central point. i would think it needs something to hold the structure together

If you google "smoked bloomin onion" you'll get a ton of hits from folks (like Traeger) who have successfully smoked/grilled them.
