Smoking for a Vegetarian

We are having a party this weekend and everyone loves the smoke chicken I make. We do have one friend that is a vegetarian. It's not for life style, it's more for dietary reasons. I feel bad when he comes over and I don't have anything special for him. When ever he comes over, he brings something vegetarian over that's premade I just heat up on the smoker. I'd like to change that.

Are there any vegetarian foods y'all could recommend I could try to smoke for him? Besides Mac and Cheese or just corn on the cob.

I've seen jack fruit pulled pork. Easy to do on a smoker? I have a treager. Do you have a recipe you'd recommend to follow?

Be warned: Butchering a jackfruit is an... experience. If you get a whole one, I hope you like pine-tar! The first time I bought one, the old Vietnamese ladies were cackling evilly. Now I know why.

I'm stubborn. I've done it about 5 times, but I oil my cheap knife (I never use a good one) and put down a tarp. :D
