Prepare the Smokey Joe grill for cooking.

Make the glaze by blending 1/4 cup bourbon, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup mustard, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup pineapple juice with 3-4 chunks of pineapple until smooth.

Chop green bell pepper into chunks suitable for kebabs.

Combine shrimp and chopped bell pepper with some of the marinade in a bag and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

Put on gloves and assemble the skewers with shrimp, sirloin chunks, and green bell pepper, seasoning with salt and black pepper as desired.

Keep shrimp on a separate skewer since they cook faster, and place pineapple on another skewer to control cooking time.

Prepare the grill by lighting coals and letting them heat up for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.

Place the skewers on the grill, making sure to leave space for the pineapple and allow the lid to sit partially on top.

Cook the skewers for about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through and brushing with leftover glaze.

Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest before serving.
