Step 1: Materials and Ingredients

Well, to start you need a grill. I used a Weber kettle, and yes CHARKOAL IZ BETTA DEN GAZ!!

As far as the fruit goes, it's pretty open source. You need a pineapple, but you can cook up prettyy much any firm bodied fruit.
What I used:
1 Pineapple
4 Kiwis
2 Mango
2 Red Pears
1 Cactus fruit
1 banana
Coconut flakes to top it off

Mango and kiwi are elevated to fruit ecstasy when grilled, and go like a dream with pineapple. I recommend keeping them as your "base" and customizing further with add-ons.

i wonder if there's a way to cook meat such as beef or chicken inside a pineapple(possibly in the form of shish kabobs) so that the fruit juices flavour the meat, and it makes more of a main course, as apposed to a dessert.

Totally try that, but with pork. Pork n pineapple get it on like coeds.

This is ingenious. In Boy Scouts, remember making muffins inside orange peels, and grilling a lot of vegetables in foil like this, but never meat inside a fruit. I bet you could slow cook pork or chicken in the pineapple and get some good results, but you might want to insulate the pineapple some, because I bet if the husk caught fire it would ruin the flavor.
