My current favourite thing to smoke:
Pork Belly Burnt Ends (shameless stolen from Malcom Reed -
https://howtobbqright.com/2017/04/17...ly-burnt-ends/
Ingredients
8lb Pork Belly skin removed
½ cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub
1 ½ sticks Butter sliced
½ cup Brown Sugar
¼ cup Honey
Pork Belly Burnt End Glaze
1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
¼ cup Apple Juice
¼ cup Apple Jelly
1 Tablespoon Frank’s Hot Sauce
Instructions
Prepare charcoal smoker for indirect cooking at 250-275⁰. Add 2 chunks of Cherry Wood for smoke.
Remove pork belly from packaging and cube into 1 ½” x 1 ½” pieces.
Season all sides of the pork belly cubes with The BBQ Rub.
Arrange cubes onto a full size cooling rack and place on smoking grate.
Smoke pork belly for 2 – 2 ½ hours.
Place each Pork Belly Burnt End into an aluminum pan and cover with brown sugar and honey. Arrange butter in between the pork belly pieces.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and return to smoker for 1 ½ hours or until the pieces are tender.
Drain the liquid from the pan and add the Pork Belly Glaze to the burnt ends. Toss gently to coat each piece and return to the smoker to set the glaze for 5-10 minutes and serve.
I have a pellet grill, so I just use my competition blend pellets instead of cherry wood chunks.
I also skip the apple jelly because I don't have any.
This is the most delicious thing you will ever eat. It is insanely rich and decadent. I recommend it as an appy or something
