Pork belly burnt ends

[mdntxprs]

Newbie here but not to smoking
Thanks for having me
And this is my first post

Well this was my first attempt at these delicious lil morsels.
Got a 9# belly from Costco and got busy.
Made my own rub/seasoning to put on em.
Used the "shake-n-rub" in a bag coated well.
Got em going in my MES 40" SS and run em up to 160° took em out put in pan with butter, brown sugar and honey. Dont think I used enough of any of it and looked like most the fat had done rendered off down in the drip pan.
Covered and up heat on smoker and run to 200°.
Un covered for a bit and dug in.
Dont think they were as tender as should be but was in smoker for 6 hours
End result was very good but I think will be better next time.

They look superb, nice sized batch too.

One of my favourites, melt in the mouth is key I reckon.

I am always learning from my cooks but keep forgetting to make notes and forget how I did the perfect piece, haha

I kind of like your under dressed look on them :-)

If you think they need more, this should give you an idea of the very heavily sauced approach that I use!
