In this case, I don't honestly know if I could tell what the cinnamon smoke did for the food or not. This was an experimental cook and I'll have to try the cinnamon smoke with something I'm more familiar with and something that doesn't already have cinnamon in the rub.
I've cooked pumpkin before, but only as an indirect grilling w/ mesquite lump charcoal, and that has worked out well.
Yeah, foil is probably necessary for the smoker or a water pan, or both.
I had a few people sample the pumpkin, and everyone seems to have about the same thoughts that it probably wasn't a very good/flavorful pumpkin to start with.
