Tried smoking a whole watermelon for 8 hours like a brisket at my July 4th cookout, and it turned into a hot, pink puddle that my dog wouldn't even touch.

I learned that just because you can put something in a smoker doesn't mean you should, so has anyone else had a totally failed 'smoke anything' experiment that sounded better in your head?

Sounds like you just needed a better recipe, not less ambition.

Oh man, that's the perfect example of a plan sounding way cooler than the result. I see this all the time with my friends who get a new smoker or air fryer. They go from normal burgers to trying to smoke a whole cheese wheel or air fry a steak, and it's a total mess. @hayden_rivera has a point about recipes, but sometimes you just gotta accept that some ideas are better left as a funny thought. My buddy tried to smoke grapes once for "smoked wine" and just made expensive raisins.
