You thiefy little bugger.
We were prepping one for a little South Nashville get together next week.
Let is us know how it turns out. I was thinking about putting it on a Joetisserie."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

Hey Donnie, good to see you back around. I've been kicking around the idea of doing a swineapple for a while now. The reason I've hesitated up till now is because I've heard from several different sources that there is a chemical in the pineapple juices that gets into the pork meat and turns the consistency of the pork almost chalkey. I'm curious if you noticed any issues/changes in the mouth feel of the pork.
-
Don't forget to put toothpicks in place to hold the bacon weave !!!! One hour in the cook and bacon is sliding off. "Toothpicking" now !!
I'll get back with finished pics and comments.
Thanks !!

Donny - I couldn't tell by the pictures, but do you smoke the butt first and then stuff it into the pineapple, or just cram the butt into the pineapple and smoke the whole thing??
Thanks!Milton, GA

Looks great. I think using presmoked pork may be the winning idea here, you may not have any issues with the bromelain in the pineapple breaking down the pork if it's already cooked.

and because pulled pork > raw pork
-
@GoooDawgs and and @Legume you're supposed to used pulled pork. All you're really doing is warming up the pineapple and cooking down the bacon.
My sister has done them a few times for some events. She has stuffed chopped Hawaiian pork, jerk chicken, pulled pork, and liquor soaked fruit inside at different times.
If you were doing raw pork you would never be able to get the pork where you wanted it before the bacon and pineapple disinigrated around it."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

So we have some here that don't like pork sushi? Oh well.
Man that is one impressive looking cook there Mr. Dawes! Pork porn, what's better than that? -
@Legume I'll ask her when she gets back in town. She was doing a culinary internship at some resort and it was one of those gimmicky dishes that has great presentation.
She tried doing one with marshmallow filling as a volcano that turned out pretty cool. I remember the pics years ago. I think they used everclear as an accelerant and whipped the filler with grenadine. Lit it on fire when it came off the grill."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

Finally !!!
Sorry for the delay...Ky Speedway Saturday afternoon/night for Quaker State 400, church most of the day Sunday, along with some yard work.
IMOP: I didn't like the results of the pork. It tasted, and I use a term someone else used first....chalky.
The pineapple was oozing with hot juices ( eeeeasy). The bacon did not crisp as I expected (my lack of cooking abilities, I'm sure), and the already-cooked chunks of pulled pork did not taste good to me.....hence...it had a chalky taste.
Some research recommended a pork loin to be used instead....or even chicken. Don't know if that would make a difference or not. The pork was not "mushy" as some critics have added, but it just didn't have the taste that I like.
I probably will come up with something different....like leaving the pulled pork out on my next trial !!
Or maybe stuff it with Hot Dogs and take it to the Carrollton's Hottest Dog 2018 Contest !!!!! One never knows what I'll try !

Sorry it didn't meet expectations after all the work. A learning experience and a hopeful plan for a future attempt! We all learn. Thanks for sharing.Ubi panis, ibi patria.

Tried the swineapple, followed a receipt using pork tenderloin. Looked great but the pork was like mush with not flavor. Pineapple was great.
