Sometimes the smoker is already running, and you need something sweet to show for it. Enter: a whole pineapple.
Smoked pineapple is one of those things that sounds like a gimmick until the first bite. The smoke kisses the outside, the brown sugar and cinnamon caramelize into the edges, and the inside stays juicy and bright. It's tropical BBQ camp in the best way.
Set It and Forget It
This is a background cook. Toss the pineapple on at 225°F while your brisket or ribs do their thing, flip it once, and pull it after an hour or so. Zero babysitting, maximum payoff.
What You'll Need
- A ripe pineapple
- Brown sugar and cinnamon
- Tajín or chili powder if you want a kick
- A smoker at 225°F
