Instructions

  1. Prepare a smoker or charcoal grill for 2 hours of indirect smoking at 250 F (120 C).

  3. Place pumpkin halves on the smoker away from the fire, adding wood chunks, and smoke for 1 to 2 hours until tender.

  4. Remove from heat and cool, or transfer to an oven to finish cooking if less smokiness is desired.

  5. Once cooled, remove seeds and skin, then coarse chop the smoky pumpkin flesh for use.
