Looks like you nailed it the first time.
PBBE'S are my favorite threads to read. Especially when pictures are added.
Not that I would ever turn them down. But I prefer my PBBE'S finished with a sauce or glaze as well. It just add's another layer of flavor.
Top notch cook Chris, dang them look good!
Looks great gmc. This is wanting me to make my first too.
They look perfect !! Points for sure..![]()
Looks tasty! Another item to add to the list to try.
You nailed it Chris...
YEAP! Awesome job Chris! Will be saving this thread for my first adventure in smoking this! Thank you!
looks good Chris !! You making bacon out of the rest ?
Just heaven on the plate!!!!!
Nice job!

Sweet, nice job GMC! They are addicting - I just made my first burnt ends a few weeks ago and they were a big hit. I initially was going to make bacon but I always wanted to do the burnt ends so I cubed up all of belly and vac sealed in individual bags.
Thank you Civil for the like and compliment. They were good.
Chris
Looks great Chris points on that cook! And I use stubbs rubs too when I don't make my own..cheaper and not completely full of salt like a lot of others on the market. See that PBR sneaked in there too. They tend to do that!

We have made a "spoken" rule that we can only do pork belly once a year cause it is just way to good to experience it more than that.....although a slab will last for a full week so after a full week of that experience means you need a whole year to recover.........LOL
I ended up making a foil pan of them and fed the guys down at the station. They are definitely not something that a person should eat much of very often.Thanks Richie for the words and like appreciate them. Allot of the fat renders out, but I won't lie. Allot of it remains. I wouldn't eat these on a weekly basis but once in a while is fine, and they are just so darn good.
Wow Gator that's allot of BEs. I thought about doing the same, but since I never tried them before I didn't want to risk not liking them. Besides it's only the wife and I now. I already ordered cure #1 and bacon is in my near future(hopefully I can start by the end of the week). Thanks for the compliment and like.

If you're still on the fence after this, not sure what we can do to push you over
Highly recommended.
