Grilled Pineapple, tropical, sweet and with a fire underneath.
End your BBQ session spectacularly with Giant Flames
Finish off an amazing barbecue with a dessert from the fire. The heat from the grill transforms the juicy pineapple into a sweet, caramelized spectacle. Whether you fire up the grill specifically for this dessert or use the residual heat from your main course, you can’t go wrong with our fuel.
Giant Flames charcoal or briquettes
To grill fruit, you need nice, moderate to high heat. Which fuel you choose depends on your previous dishes (or how much of a rush you are with the dessert):
- Coconut briquettes: have you just spent hours slow-cooking pulled pork or spareribs? Chances are your Giant Flames coconut briquettes are still glowing! Because they burn for at least 3.5 hours, you have enough stable residual heat left to caramelize this pineapple perfectly. (Not for use in the Kamado).
- Charcoal briquettes: are you working on a plancha or open grill and want to prevent the sugar from charring immediately? Our compressed charcoal briquettes deliver extremely even, stable heat without extreme peaks. Perfect for a delicate sugar coating!
- Acacia charcoal: are you firing up the BBQ specifically for this tropical dessert? With our FSC-certified acacia charcoal, you’ll be up to temperature in no time. The coals ignite quickly and provide exactly the right heat for those fast, dark grill marks on your pineapple.
Pitmaster Tip: Sugar burns very quickly over an open fire. Want perfect grill marks? Then grill the pineapple ‘naked’ first. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over it only in the very last minute, so that it melts and caramelizes instead of turning black and bitter.
Ready for a fiery and sweet grand finale? Make sure your fire is perfect and end the evening in style.
