Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Sometime after I got my large BGE, I cooked a cherry cobbler in a ci dutch oven . It cooked well, but it had a smoky taste. I didn't like a smoky taste on a dessert. So I didn't cook another dessert until this past weekend. I saw the recipe for a pineapple upside down cake on biggreencraig.com. So I thought that I would try it.
The first time I think that I used BGE lump. Not 100 0/0 sure. I could have not done something right (used lump, grease in old lump, or etc.). This time I used Rockwood Lump (first time). I cleaned out all of the old and filled it up with all new lump. It appeared to burn clean from the beginning, but I still let it burn for awhile before I put the cake on.
I cooked it at around 350 indirect on an AR. I used the 14 inch BGE stone for the indirect piece. I had 1/2" spacers between it and my ci skillet. My skillet was a #8. Probably an inch smaller than Craig uses (see his recipe). It took about 70 minutes to cook. It turned out very good. It didn't have a smoky taste to it. I don't know if it was the brand of lump, starting with all new lump, or both, but the end result was that it was good. Thanks @biggreencraig.com

Made one myself this weekend. Used the same recipe but added some cherries for color. Next time I might use the diced pineapple to get more coverage. Tasted awesome though. Highly recommend.
