I will be back to try more and order some of your seasonings! Thanks again man!!!! Willie Phillips

  2. Adele says:

    these pineapples look amazing. But I don’t have a rotisserie on my grill.
    Is there another way to do these – maybe in slices?

    • Malcom Reed says:

      yeah you could do slices and grill them – almost like grilling burgers. I would let it go 2-3 minutes and flip it and top it with the mixture and let it caramelize.

    • Jason says:

      I cooked them whole on my Traeger grill without a rotisserie. Turned out amazing following this recipe. Just make sure to make a little tin foil bowl to catch the drippings under the pineapples.

      • Tracey says:

        I didn’t have a rotisserie so I just put mine in a tinfoil pan and let them baste in the liquid. It was fantastic!

    • Bill Kreeger says:

      Hi Adele. I don’t have a rotisserie either. I’m going to slice mine vertically, into 8 pieces, remove core and place the pieces on my grill directly. I’m planning on turning the grill to 400 and rotating the pieces every 15 min. Hopefully it will only take an hour or so and wont burn the pieces up. Wish me luck. I’m using a Pellet grill.

    • Steve says:

      You can use skewers.Turn every few minutes. Put over a foil pan. I wrap with bacon. A dash of mint.

    • Paul Kingsboro says:

      We do them on the Traeger, stand them in a tin pie plate. Follow the same instructions, the plate catches the drippings and I pour it over the slices when it’s done. We make them quite often. Love it.

    G’day Malcolm,
    I tried this one on the weekend and loved it, thanks for the inspiration. I have also done a write up of my effort over on my blog site : https://kamadolife.com/jack-daniels-tennessee-fire-infused-rotisserie-pineapple/

  5. Kelli says:

    Is the fireball grilled pineapple good hot and cold or just hot?

  6. LaDonna says:

    Could you put the pineapple in aluminum foil and bake it in the oven ? Or use a covered roasting pan ?

  7. Betty cole says:

    Does the alcohol burn off? If not, can you feel the effects from the whiskey? Thanks!

  8. Bruce says:

    Sounds great!

  9. Linda says:

    Thanks for the recipe and all the tips. I have no spit on my grill…but will still be making for a dinner party tomorrow!! Thanks.

  10. Scott says:

    How would go do this on a Traeger smoker?

  11. Jeanne says:

  12. Anna Miller says:

  13. Jackie says:

  14. Please send all ur recipes to my emails so I can try them out

  15. Rich S says:

    Don’t forget to drink the fireball left in the bag!!!!! it will be amazing.

  16. Bunny says:

    Love this recipe and will definitely be fixing it for our family cookout (for the adults). The only problem is one of my niece’s will not let her minor children have anything with alcohol in it. No problem – her kids, her rules. Any idea what I could substitute for the Fireball? I would never want to deny a child fruit.

  17. Dee says:

    I dont have a spit on my grill but my toaster oven has one. Could I use that? Maybe add a tiny bit of liquid smoke?

  18. Mojocurt says:

    Works amazingly in an airfryer w/rotisserie set up!

  19. Garry says:

    Is there a maximum time to marinate?
    And is it fine to consume the marinade after soaking?

  20. Annoynomous says:

    Okay I admit I’m a whimp! Can I use can pineapples?
