Swineapples

[griz400]

Going to make a couple swineapples, first, will be pre-smoking 2 small loins with my rub and 1 tenderloin with butter/Italian herbs and spog, then skin outside of 2 pineapples, hollow out and bacon wrap, stuff with loin in 1, and tenderloin in other and back on the smoker till bacon and pineapple is all done .... will pre-smoke all meat to 145 internal so a safety margin is followed ... in 1 I may brush inside of pineapple with some sweet baby ray's . and was thinking of trying 1 and sprinkle a little brown sugar to outside of pineapple before bacon wrapping it ...
Will run thermometers in em and maybe see an increase of internal to 150 or so ..cause I will let meat cool some first before stuffing in the pineapples ....
I will get this all started around noon or so tomorrow , have meat in fridge with rubs on it, gonna put on reverse low and hickory for fire ...pics tomorrow
Here is hoe Jeff did it ... http://www.smoking-meat.com/may-26-2016-the-amazing-smoked-swineapple

You sure caught my attention with this one Jeff. Love loin/tenderloin, love pineapples, love bacon. This sounds like a match made in heaven.

Well,meat is like half done now 110 degrees, cleaned out, skinned both pineapples ..took like 40 minutes each .. lot of prep work, I stuck em both in a bag and put em freezer .. gonna leave em like that for about an hr or so, real juicy ... waiting on the meat now ...

Tasted pretty good, I like all the ingredients, was around 2 hrs for the bacon to crisp at 230 degrees ... I like the hickory taste on top..thanks for the point Gary
