- Pre-heat your grill to medium-high.
- Place the mushroom caps in the bowl and toss with BBQ sauce, using a spoon to evenly coat. Let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes,
- Place the mushrooms on the grill, reserving BBQ marinade for basting. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until tender, brushing with marinade frequently.
- Add pineapple slices and onions to the grill (lid closed) and cook until tender.
- Add buns to the cooler side of the grill for a few minutes before taking everything out.
- Remove everything and make your burger in the order that you prefer most.
