The Best Smoked Pumpkin

🧂 Ingredients

• 2-3 small cooking pumpkins

Instructions

• 1 Cut each pumpkin in half. Refer to the recipe photo as a guide. Leave the
  innards intact. Once cooked, it will be easier to take out.
• 2 Prepare your cooking equipment of a 1-hour smoke at a temperature around 250 If
  using a charcoal grill, then prepare it for indirect grilling, by placing the
  coals on one side. Adjust the vents so that you can maintain the desired
  temperature.
• 3 Set pumpkin halves on the smoker or grill away from the fire. Add a handful of
  wood chips to the fire.
  
  Smoke pumpkins for 1 hour. No more.
  
  If the flesh is not tender enough, move it to your oven and cook for an
  additional 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  
  If you'd prefer lightly smoked pumpkin flesh, cook the in your smoker for 30
  minutes, then finish them in your oven.
• 4 Once pumpkin flesh is soft, remove from heat and place onto a large tray. Cool
  for 30 minutes before handling. Remove seeds and reserve (see pumpkin seed
  recipe in notes section below).
  
  Scoop out flesh and use as needed. The pumpkin will smell smoky, so keep that in
  mind. Use right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for
  up to 5 days.
