this is a quote from user @Mdboatbum  in the bbq failures thread where I posted about my bad swineapple

Pineapple has an enzyme in it that literally dissolves meat at oven temperatures. The same enzyme is in mangoes. They use it in "meat tenderizers". Try lowering your temp or smoking for less time. Or pre-cook the pineapple at fairly high heat for a short while before adding the pork. High heat will deactivate the enzyme. This is why canned pineapple doesn't do the same thing.

That picture has been seen by probably millions of facebook users and been everywhere else on the web. I did this recipe and it was so so, leaning toward bad. I wouldn't bother making too big of a deal out of it. He posted the picture and the recipe so I don't think he is planning on selling it or if he was it's too late now.
 

I tried it today, but I set in on end.  The flavor was great, especially drizzled with some home-made BBQ sauce.  I also ended up with the mushy outside to the pork. 
I'll have to experiment with different techniques.
