Don’t you get a Smokey flavor from previous uses. If so how does it taste? Love your videos.
It’s a mild smoke on pellet grills – especially when you run it at a higher temp.
What flavor pellet did you use or recommend for this Malcom?
cherry or a fruit wood would be best
Malcom, Your Cornish hen recipe was out of this world. You know your stuff. I smoked it on a Weber Smokey Mountain. Very moist, tender. Followed each of your steps turned out perfect.
I have a 12″ skillet and a 13 1/4 ”
Which one would better for the Grilled Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I would go with the 13 inch one.

Oh Boy, What a nugget, now I know how the gold rush settlers felt out on the trail. another great one for the REC TEC smoker. can’t wait to try. THANK YOU !!
I tried this recipe but substituted the pineapple and cherries with fresh razzberrys. About 1 per square inch. Really good flavor with a nice tart contrast to the caramelish brown sugar and butter.
Thanks for posting Malcolm
great idea!
I’ve followed this recipe verbatim twice. Each time the pineapples stick to the skillet. Any recommendations
Has your skillet been seasoned? If not, you need to make sure you have it greased or oiled really well before you start cooking.
This turned out awesome. Can’t wait to make it again.

This was amazing! We made it in our gas grill with indirect heat and we will define repeat! Served warm with a dollop of fresh whipped cream!

Can i use self rising flour instead of baking powder?
This looked so good I went out and invested in cast iron to try. Made it for Thanksgiving, knocked it out of the park. The best pineapple upside down cake I’ve ever had. And we make it quite a bit. Just amazing.
