I'm sure I could, but just not sure... I sure don't have any smoky charcoal-y type things to cook in....
We call them "crock pots" in the US.
I think the bbq sauce could be put into one to simmer for a few hours. I would saute the onions briefly in a hot pan first. Just use caution in leaving it in the crock pot. My experience with tomato based sauces in the crock pot (chilli) is that the sauce scorches on the edges. (might be the quality of my crock pot)
Happy cooking!
