cpwebb Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I can't take credit for the idea, but was sent the following link and asked if I thought I could do it. Below are the pictures of my version (I'm not a very good photographer, but you'll get the idea). http://www.neatorama.com/2015/05/14/Swineapple-Hollowed-Out-Pineapple-Stuffed-With-Ribs-Bacon/ This is what I started with, pineapples, boneless pork ribs, thick cut bacon and my favorite pork rub: This is after I sliced, then shaved the outside of the pineapple: This picture is rotated properly on my Mac, but somehow the forum changes the orientation. This is the top "cap" after I cut it off: Hollowed out the pineapple: Added the boneless ribs after rubbing them with yellow mustard and rub Put the "cap" back on: This picture was rotated 180 degrees when I uploaded it, not sure why but it to is oriented properly on my PC. Wrapped in bacon and added rub: Another that was rotated out 180 degrees when uploaded. On the KK: Just before I pulled them off, at 162 degrees: First slice: This was time consuming, I prepped it the night before, wrapped in plastic wrap overnight. Set the KK up for indirect at 240, added CI smoking pot filled with Mesquite after heat soak. Cooked to an internal of 162 (was shooting for 160) and let rest for about 20 minutes. This was very good and I will do it again but not on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 cpwebb, sure looks like an interesting cook and I imagine a very tasty one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Crazy idea! How did it taste?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 That my friend was an over the top cook. I have made a similar pineapple boat but used it more for presentation. Using it as an actual cooking vessel is just brilliant. Will definitely do this cook sometime in the future. P.S. In the south east states we call those country ribs.

cpwebb Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 CKREEF, I'm actually from the SE (Alabama) but now am in Kansas. They call them country style here as well, but they are just boneless pork ribs. TonyB, Very tasty. The ribs were great and grilled pineapple is always good!! The only thing missing was some bark on the ribs. The bacon on the outside had some good crunch to it, but while I was eating from the first one my brother in law ate all the bacon off the second pineapple. He won't get to participate next time.

tony b Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Maybe do a "reverse sear" on the country style ribs next time to get some char on them?? Hell yeah, ban that bacon mooching BIL!! Not cool, not cool at all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool, not cool at all!!! That's basically what I was thinking. Do a quick griddle or pan sear on all the sides of the country ribs before putting them in there.
