Need help with a pumpkin ale with cinnamon recipe

[SDouglas82]

I'm making Northern Brewers all grain Smashing Pumpkin Ale and wanted to add some cinnamon sticks to the boil. My questions are:

1) How many cinnamon sticks (about 4 inches long) should I add to the boil?
2) When should I add the cinnamon sticks to the boil?
3) Is 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice enough for a 5 gallon batch? That's what the recipe calls for, but that seems a little weak.

Here is the link to the recipe: http://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/allgrain/AG-SmashingPumpkin.pdf

Thanks in advance for any advice. This is my 2nd all grain attempt and 1st pumpkin ale.
