Double Smoked Belly Ends!

[c14james35]

Well I bought just over an 11 pound pork belly from costco. Cut it in four pieces, 2 chunks im saving to try my hand at bacon, the other two were off size one about 3 1/2" thick the other was maybe an inch or so.
I trimmed some fat, off light rub of mustard, heavy coating of Mccormick applewood rub.

Trying out the new ThermPro. Made my life way easier no more peaking under the lid to check my pit temp.

Pulled at an IT of 190.
Smoked with cowboy lump and hickory and cherry wood.

Took about 5 hours to hit 190 running around 230 or so.

Chunking them up in 1 inch cubes or so.
I decided to glaze them with Jeffs sauce, honey and brown sugar. Put them back on the smoker in foil pan uncover for about 2 hours or so. Adding more smoke not sure how much it will get being in a pan, we will see when they are done. You will have to wait for the final product. Also put a bacon wrapped fillet for the fiance on there.

Not sure why im getting all the double pictures up there.

Final product, melts in your mouth. Served with a side salad to off set the fatty goodness, and some bread and butter.

They were good,im thinking they would be best as an appetizer at a cook out. A huge plate full of those will do a number on your gut lol.

This is an eye opener! The only things I've done with belly is bacon and Pancetta. I see a Costco trip coming up. Half a belly for bacon & half to cook.
