    Restart after temp dip- Still OK...I hope?

    So here's the deal :) Dry cured some pork belly for about 10 days and put it on the smoker (Timberline 1300) last night. It was going fine until with the belly up to about 105 (in about 3-4 hours) and then for some reason, the fire went out, so by time the alarm woke me up the pit temp went...

    Streak O' Lean ~aka~ Side Meat ~aka~ Salt Pork

    It goes by several names, and if you come from the South you may have had it (if you're old enough).... or if your kinfolk still cook with the old ways. With me it's definitely a Grandpa thing. Streak O' Lean is cured but un-smoked pork belly, in other words, think fresh side pork that has...

    There Is A Santa Claus ~ And His Sleigh Is Full Of Pork Belly

    In the high lonesome, pork bellies have been scarcer than hens teeth most of the year. The last one I bought was 6 months ago. I belong to a group of friends that often do group purchases... everything from sweet corn to smoking woods, spices and other mail order things to save on shipping...

    Pork belly burnt ends - aka the pig candies

    Hi there, guys! This is my take on the absolutely mouthwatering recipe by Jess Pryles, the one and only! What you will need: - 3-4 lb pork belly, skin off, cut into 3-4cm (1 ½") cubes. - Your favourite BBQ rub - I used a rub with a bit of cherry sweetness in it, e.g. Three Little Pigs Touch...

    Hmong-ish dinner - testing the new inkbird SV

    I'm no expert at Thai, Lao, Hmong cuisine, but I'm a quick study. My Hmong friends can't believe some white guy made it. Clockwise: SV pork belly then sauteed with Japanese eggplant and onions in a reduced soy glaze. Soured bamboo salad and Beef knuckles SV until tender then minced with onions...

    Pork Belly Burnt Ends 1st try.

    Well this was my first attempt at PBBEs and I now see why everyone goes crazy over these things. PBBEs will most certainly make the party circuit along with pork shots, moinks and ABTs. ...and away we go. Started out with about 3 pounds of pork belly(cut from the 9 pounder I bought). Cut it...

    1st Pork Belly Bacon

    Well my smoking brethren, I tried pork belly bacon for the first time. And it was a success. I must say that of all things I have smoked, outside of cheese, this has got to be one of the easiest I have done. If you are considering giving it a try I would highly suggest that you do and you will...

    Pork Belly Burnt Ends with Cherry Lime Glaze

    I started with 5 lbs of pork belly and cubed them up about 1"x1". I sprinkled them with a little rub that I threw together really quick. Some sugar, some Lawry's Seasoned Salt, a little paprika, some cumin, and a good amount of pepper. It really wasn't my favorite rub. But oh well. Into the MES...

    More bacon!!!

    "It's been while." "I don't know why it's taken so long..." Thoughts that go through my head. The wait is over. But it just began! I started some belly curing in Pop's brine recipe, with the addition of maple extract and some "black forest seasoning" I found on another site. It includes...

    Pork Belly with Mustard & Vinegar Sauce

    I took my first stab at a BBQ pork belly today in my MES. It took about four hours in the smoker to reach 160° at a smoker temperature that hovered between 225° and 250°. I used a 4 pound pork belly and scored it on both sides before applying a simple pork rub. Here is the rub: -2 tbsp of...

    About a month or so ago I was at Sam's strolling through the meat department contemplating what I was going to smoke next. I wanted to do something I hadn't done before but also didn't really have any ideas.... that's when I stumbled across their pork belly. Now there was only two separate...
