Pork Belly Burnt Ends Question?

[c14james35]

So I have been dreaming about these pork belly burnt ends since I have seen them last weekend. My last trip to Costco I saw they had bellies. They have big slabs 10-12 pounds and they have pre sliced about 1/4" thick 4-6 pound packages (not cured if your wondering). I dont really want to do a 10-12 pounder. So my question is do you think 1/4" slices is to thin to try this out and might have trouble with fat rendering? On the brite side I did see they have cowboy lump 34 pound bags for 19.99!

Cut one in halve, burnt ends and cure the other halve.

Like c farmer or just make another batch of belly ends another time or four.

Ya thats what I will probably do. Hopefully I will have time early next week.

Any idea on a time frame for 4-5 pound slab? I know its done when when its done but I just kind of like to get a game plan going.
