• Skewer the shrimp, scallops, and cod on separate skewers and grill until just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Cut the pineapples in half. Scoop the flesh from each pineapple to create a bowl, leaving the bottom portion in each pineapple bowl to hold the coconut milk mixture. Reserve the removed pineapple flesh. Wrap bottoms of the pineapple bowl with a double layer of heavy-duty foil.
• Cut the reserved pineapple into bite-size pieces, discarding the hard core. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, coconut milk, cilantro, and Thai seasoning. Fill each pineapple bowl halfway full of coconut milk mixture.
• Place pineapple bowls on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the coconut milk mixture begins to simmer.

Finely chop two-thirds of the pineapple flesh and set aside in a bowl. Add the remaining pineapple flesh to a blender along with the BBQ sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then blend until smooth.
• Prepare the shrimp. Add the shrimp to an aluminum foil pouch (or create a pouch with aluminum foil), then sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour the pineapple BBQ sauce over the top. Close the pouch and place over the direct heat of the grill, or on the bottom rack of the oven. Cook until a quick peek inside reveals opaque shrimp, 10 to 12 minutes.
• For the rice: In the bowl with the reserved chopped pineapple, add the rice, cilantro, scallions, zest and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
• To serve: Divide and fill both halves of the pineapple with the rice. Remove the shrimp from the pouch and top both pineapple halves equally. Pour the juices from the pouch over everything. Top with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges for spritzing.

Thread pineapple on separate skewers; brush with remaining oil mixture. Arrange shrimp and pineapple skewers on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast skewers, turning them halfway through, until shrimp is opaque, about 5 minutes, and pineapple is lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place cherry wood chips into the smoker to add sweetness.
• Wash pineapple well but make sure to keep the leaves intact. Cut pineapple in half lengthwise, cutting through the middle of the leaf stalk. Cut out a V-shape down the middle of each half to remove the dense core. Hollow out each pineapple half by making cross and side cuts, but leave some meat on the skin. If pineapple gets completely hollowed out, the skin gets very flexible so leaving a little meat will keep it sturdier.
• Chop pineapple meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Pour out any remaining pineapple juice from the husks and reserve for a different use.
• Combine pineapple chunks, pulled chicken, barbeque sauce, and bacon bits in a large bowl; mix to combine. Fill pineapple halves with the mixture and top with glazed walnuts and cranberries.
• Place pineapple halves into the smoker and smoke until outsides look darker and leaves start to shrivel, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove pineapple halves from the smoker very carefully as they will be very soft and flexible.
