Shape into six patties. When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the pineapple rings on the grill rack and baste with some of the Ginger Teriyaki with Orange marinade & sauce, cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn the pineapple rings over, baste again and grill another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside. Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook turning once until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns cut side down on outer edges of grill rack to toast lightly. During the last few minutes of cooking the burgers, top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bun bottom, add the patty, top with a grilled pineapple ring and place 2 roasted red pepper slices on top of that. Add the bun tops and serve.
