Decided to experiment.
Sweet pie pumpkin, rubbed with brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, a dash of cumin and a dash of chili powder. About half a chimney of fully lit k-briqs + 2 small chunks of mesquite and 3 cinnamon sticks per Moses's recommendation earlier in the thread.
I'm guessing it'll take about an hour and a half before I know if this was a good idea or an express lane to culinary hell.
