I tried this once before with not very good results….no sauce and not long enough.
Today I watched Matt Pittman do these….so did my best to follow the steps correctly. I used Hot Honey Hog to season. On a metal sheet for 3 hours at 250. Then into foil pans, one with SBR spicy sauce, one with Kraft brown sugar. Back on the SmokeFire for another 35-40mi utes at 250. All I have to say is wow. They are good, really good. Only thing I didn’t have was the pepper jelly….

Looks delicious!

I'm trying this today. It is my first time dealing with pork belly. Did you remove pieces that were mostly fat? I was surprised at how fatty some of the pieces were after cutting them up. This piece appears to be 90% fat. Maybe it just melts away during the cook. I'll find out in a few hours.

Do t remove that fat….that will melt down into juicy goodness. After a couple hours or so.. and then when you add the sauces and cook it farther even more melted goodness. I thought the same…ALOT of fat. That being said I did throw some out, not much, that was just all fat and no discernible meat. I also think cooking them on a sheet is a key, as they baste in their own juices.
