@djc51 Here is a link to an analysis of soaking vs not. The article argues against soaking except under certain circumstances. It seems to make sense to me. https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/more-cooking-science/myth-soak-your-wood-first

@djc51 We will have the Pumpkin Pie Bratwurst Seasoning on April 14th. Price will be $9.99 per package to season 25 lb of meat. Once we get it in, we’ll also update with new pictures of the seasoning as well on the product’s page. If you do want some, you can order it whenever and the day we get it into our warehouse, we’ll ship your order straight away to you. https://www.waltonsinc.com/pumpkin-pie-bratwurst-seasoning
