It’s 48° and raining. Time for smoked pork belly!

[Brett-EDH]

8 oz blocks and fat surface scored.





A good covering of my Magic Dust (sweet heat)







Almost to temp. Gonna run at 250-275° on this cook.

Looks good. I do a lot of cured bacon with pork belly but have never just smoked it. Got to give that a try, just don't tell my cardiologist.

 

[Brett-EDH]

Holding temps perfectly. 45 mins into this cook.

Mine likes to hold right there as well. It continually amazes me how steady it is.

 

[Bruno]

Looks awesome!!

 

[Brett-EDH]

2 hours in on the nose. Looking real good. Gonna check temp soon.

Put a hunk of that on a bowl of beans or greens and I'm in Heaven!!

Steady and stable. It’s 40 mph winds and rain today. And the E6 be like, “it’s windy and raining? Pfft. I got this.”

 

[Brett-EDH]

Probing 187-191°. Will pull shortly for the final braise.

Added some butter and orange pineapple juice.

What is the final temp or jiggle for this.

Is there a big holding period or is my gf calling the cardiologist.

That's the biggest reason I bought mine. Here in Oregon, it's usually cold, wet, and windy — and the E6 doesn't care.

You know for fat rendering.
Funny story.
Big bbq with a large amount of chickens.
Dogs pit sharking whole time.
When it came time to slice up the chickens, one dog found the perfect spot. All the drippings were on the dog's head and neck. So for weeks dog was on heaven. Course with their sense of smell being so much stronger, ... dry food was never going to work again.

 

[Brett-EDH]

And done. 3 hours total cook time.

Did 45 mins in braise, fully covered. They’re done at the 187° mark but the braise adds that next final flavor layer and I added more magic dust when I put them in the braise pan before the butter pats.

They’re melt in your mouth good.

Good for a Niner win!!

BA 11 is such an athlete. That was an incredible play to win the game.

Wow, that looks fantastic! No drip pan under those delicacies?

Nah. It drizzled onto the diffuser which I had wrapped in aluminum foil. Would have been good for some beans. Next time. It was quite a cluster F with the rain and winds. Had to find the patio furniture covers 3x today. No help from the fam. They just watched and laughed at me. Fairer weather would be nice next time. But this is our winter. Rain over 4 mos and then Sun the other 8. Trade off, but it’s worth it.

The E6 cooks like a champ. It beats every grill I’ve ever cooked with or owned. The weather was unfavorable today but the E6 laughed at the weather gods and delivered the goods.
