Treat Belly Like Butt?

There is a host of Youtube videos on smoked pork belly. It's apparently a whole branch of barbecue. Malcom Reed cuts it in cubes and fries it in butter and brown sugar.

Looks good to me, but I can imagine the meat being a little dry with the temp you took it to...

I switched over to lump charcoal in my OKJ offset and I'm never going back!

I figured it would work, since it worked with pork butt, but maybe I should listen to you. It's not like I'm racing for a prize.

Well...wait...I spent a lot of time today down around 250, so maybe I should take all that back.

I can see that, but you're emphasizing the fat only. I can't see that. I'm considering making some homemade bacon in the future. Eating other forms of cooked pork belly isn't really for me. Other than bacon, I prefer mostly lean meat.
