is the seasoned pork uncooked? do you smoke this thing or actually grill it?

Yes & yes... You want to do an indirect for a few hours to cook the pork inside thoroughly, about 160*... The bacon weave is kind of a pain, have to secure it with toothpick... When its close to the 160* mark, I move over the coals to crispy the bacon... Thinking I'll slice it & put it on a sammich & crumble the bacon over it. The 1 time I made it, we were having a bunch of family over, I took it off, sliced it up & everybody just finger fooded it.....

I'm 6'2, 185lbs, lift more and run farther than I ever have. 

 

I mean, its good on you to make a healthy lifestyle change, I aint knockin ya... What were you before you started this antimeat kick?

 

Im 6'2" 260, the most Ive ever weighed, absolutely need to do something about it. Ive slowly put on about 25lbs in the last 3 years, mostly due to a latnight drinking habit... I just cannot not eat meat, I love cooking too much.. and eating... and beers....

Hmmmm totally depends on the weather, but hoping for grilled port tenderloin, and some roasted fingerling potatoes.

Certainly beer, and probably a glass of wine at some point.

 

If the weather continues to beat us on the coast, it may be braised short ribs over parm mashed potatoes, or parm risotto.

Heading out to Quail Hollow tomorrow and will probably have a few $11 beers and then will come home for some Hop, Drop and Rolls. Food will be optional

Saw this thing called a 'Swineapple' not too long ago... Did 1 trial run already, need thick cut bacon to weave, prob'ly going to give this another go for tomorrow.... Hollowed out pineapple, stuffed with seasoned pork, prob'ly loin, and then bacon weave skewered in place... Not for the Igo's or any other carne detractors.... I'll do a mac & cheese & some grilled veggies to supplement... And Devil's Backbone to quench my thirst....

 

What if you filled it with Al Pastor? Would only have to cook the bacon.

So already done marinated pork inside? Wouldn't take long for the bacon, might could be enough time to heat the pineapple but wouldn't cook it... I like where your heads at, could be an option...

 

this isnt my recipe, came across it watching other grilling videos, I'm down for experimenting... isn't al pastor fried? Could also marinate in al pastor then cook in the pineapple for extra sweetness....

Well, beer of course and then the rest is up to the lady of the house.

[cookinbrak]

Just finished cooking hot wings, honey lime cilantro wings, and dragon turds. All going to the grill tomorrow.

Nah, al pastor is butt cooked with jalapenos and pineapple, then shredded like BBQ. But if you took a pork loin, cooked it with peppers and pineapple, jammed it up that pineapple's hoohah......

Something like this, I just finished building it a month ago.
