Whole grilled pineapple

Unknown

Does anyone have experience or advice on grilling whole pineapples? I've heard of preparing the pineapple by sticking vanilla beans, chilies, ginger, etc., but don't have any information on cooking times/temps. Help please!

Patrick,
I've only grilled slices. 1/2 inch thick, coated in butter and brown sugar. 450 for 5 minutes each side. Top with ice cream and flaming dark rum. Some people add DP firewalk or something as well.[p]Ed

Patrick,
When you say whole.... are you talking sliced, spears, halfed, hollowed, skin on/off?

Patrick,[p]Cleaning and coring a whole pineapple is a pain when it is cold, why do it when hot?
Here is one way I like to do fruit desserts.

Big'un,[p]I'm not exactly sure, but would imagine skin off and cored.

Patrick,[p]This is a dessert that's always a hit around here. [p]And as far as pineapple goes we cut it into slices about 1/2" thick butter cayenne, turbinado sugar and serve with ice cream some serve with flaming rum or whatever.
