Pork belly burnt ends

[brew]

Got a pork belly at Costco for $3.99/lb.  Chunked off a piece and cut into 1.5" cubes.  Seasond with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder , paprika and brown sugar.  Put on smoker at 325 for 75 minutes.   Put them in a pan with butter and sweet/zesty bbq sauce for another 75 mins.  Fat rendered out perfectly.   My only problem now is figuring out how to just cook for just wife and I.turned out really good

This inspires me to run my smoker for two days next time I fire it up, Day 1......pork belly.......Day 2, pork butt.

One of my favorite things to make in my smoker is Pork Belly burnt ends. I usually do half the belly as burnt ends and the other half whole so i can slice it, fry it, and make BLT's with it. I saw someone do burnt ends from a chuck roast so I might try that next time along with pork belly.

We have been using a lot more pork belly around the house. Going to have to give this a try for sure!

We have been doing a  very similar process and recipe.  It turns out great and is absolutely delicious.   

It also freezes very well.  We vacuum seal it in 1lb packs and freeze it for quick easy meals down the road.  Open it up, throw it in a cast iron pan to warm it taste equally as good as when it was fresh off the smoker.
