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.
Hey there! Do you have just a smoked pineapple recipe that you could share?

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.
