Light charcoal. Once coals are ready, add a few pieces of Western BBQ cherry wood chunks. 225 F is the temprature you want to maintain.

Add pinapple flesh side down, and cover, allowing it to smoke for 30 minutes.
Turn pineapple pieces over, cover, and check after another 30 minutes. You are looking for the flesh to be a more golden yellow. Do not over cook, or it will get mushy.
