Pork belly BE

[JLinza]

Well, I couldn't believe it. I walked into my local Safeway this morning, and lo and behold... I saw pork belly. Pork belly is never... and I mean, never seen around here unless it's at our local butcher. The sight alone gave me the tingles. So I couldn't help my self.

Hit it with some honey hog, a good layer of course black pepper in between and then the treagers cherry rub. Let it roll at around 225 for most of the day.

Cut and put it in the pan with some brown sugar, champion blend sauce by blues hog and some tiger sauce and of course the liquid gold.

this thing was jiggly

I had no intention of posting today, but was so excited to find it in the store ... I couldn't resist.
Thanks for lookin.

Awesome!! Looks like it came out Killer!! Every now and then my SW has PB but it is usually 1-2" thick slices. Never the whole piece but I can deal with that, Hahaha!!

Fantastic! Next thing better than turning belly into bacon is making burnt ends with it.

Very nice work. And to add, our Safeway over here has been carrying premium pork belly that are around 7# each for about a year now. I keep the freezer stocked.

Has anyone compared smoking the belly and then cubing to cubing and then smoking? I cube first, but it may be a Ford vs. Chevy thing.

Are there any meat scientists out there?

Seen alot of people cube & then smoke. I've never done it that way myself, I guess I just like to keep things whole most of the time. No rhyme or reason to my madness, just personal preference I suppose. Now that belly is more available to me, I may have to explore more ways here soon.

Thanks, bummer you didn't find any. I was pretty excited to find em, as my local butcher is great they are pretty expensive too.

Pig Candy! Love it!

I cube then smoke figuring there is more surface area for the rub. I haven't smoked then cubed, though so can't say if there is any difference.
