Just one used. I was trying to send you recipes but don't know enough of
what you were looking for. If you have a specific one in mind I can help
better.

Sheldon also helped with an idea I think I want to try. My smoker is often
underfilled. I doubt the smoke itself will make much difference but the
long slow cooking might be just the ticket for some types.

For grilling, pattypans work nicely. Cut in half and brush with oil, cook
open side up with a little broth often added if what i have done. Don likes
to add butter and brown sugar to them. These arent peeled, just halved and
cooked.
