Jake - nice bit of deduction, there Jake. Yes, born in long beach, moved to the frigid northeast about 6 years ago. Haven't thawed yet. (and let's hope the dodgers fare better this year).
Kevin - actually, I've never been able to get down to mexico city. Hoping to get down there this year, actually. The best al pastor I've ever had was a road-side stall in baja - just a few miles from k-38, actually. Man, that stuff is tasty.

I have been thinking about how to do al pastor on a EZ Que and keep the pineapple variable. I have some ideas but haven't tried any yet.

How about just turning your kettle on it's end?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on keeping the pineapple variable. Obviously you could use it as part of your marinade, but there's something to the pineapple dripping down and caramelizing...
you know, you could probably build a vertical spit from a rotisserie attachment. You'd need a charcoal basket that could hold charcoal vertically, kind of like an elongated chimney, but with a mesh side to it. Then, somehow securely fashion a rotisserie on its end. With a metal reflector behind the "chimney" and around the back of the unit, you'd have a great vertical spit.
hey, that might actually work...
