• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
• Wood chunks for smoking

Instructions:

Cut the pork butt into bite-sized pieces to prepare it

To make the marinade, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, paprika, onion, garlic, and black pepper with the cayenne pepper

Transfer the pork cubes into a resealable bag and cover them with half of the marinade

Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, after sealing the bag

Set your smokers temperature to 225F 107C and add chunks of wood to smoke

Retain approximately 1/2 inch of pineapple flesh on the sides and bottom after cutting off the top and hollowing out the pineapple

Place the marinated pork cubes inside the hollowed-out pineapple

For four to five hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit 90 degrees Celsius, smoke the stuffed pineapple in the preheated smoker

Throughout the smoking process, baste the stuffed pineapple with the leftover marinade once every hour

After its finished, take the smoked pineapple out of the smoker and give it a good 15 minutes to rest before slicing and serving
