Depends on the configuration. With longer smaller diameter shapes
about an hour to an hour and a half... with squatter fatter ones the
time can be increased about half an hour... I like them coked until
the skin becomes crisp, I eat the skin. You can also stuff the
hollowed out seed cavity with a link's worth of crumbled breakfast
sausage. I also like to set out like a half dozen halves on my weber
and smoke them slowly over like 3-4 hours -- they dry out and become
dense like smoked gouda only low calorie.
