How did they turn out?

Seeds turned out great.  sorry no pics :-[ I did these for a neighbor and he grabbed em before I had a chance to get a picture. BUT I have more to do so I will post some smoked seeds soon.

First tray was a learning experience.  They went in the garbage. over done and I had a little problem using some modified big chief jerky  racks.  I found out what the max temp is, and melting point, of these racks.  just a tad over 175 degrees F.   OOPS! :o   As luck would have it I was using frog mats on the rest of the racks.

That looks interesting, but I gotta ask a couple questions.  Do you brine the seeds or season them at all?  How do you know when they are done?  What do pumpkin seeds taste like?

[RFT]

Didn't brine just seasoned with some salt.

When are they done?  I taste them as I am smoking them.  You don't want them to get to well done or they are really dry and flaky.

I don't know how to describe how they taste except to say like pumpkin seeds.    :)

Nice.  Pumpkin seeds are my favorite part of carving the pumpkin.  I just toss in oil and season with garlic and salt then into the oven at 300.  Once they start to brown up a little i stir in some melted butter then put back into oven until done or browned all the way.
