Pork Belly burnt ends


 
Do you add them to a pan with a little sauce and smoke that a bit and then take them out of the sauce and firm it up with a bit more heat?
It is usually my route anyways.....I also let them cook too much and they get too dark.....it's a sad event, you have to trust they are soft already....... Just guessing on your pic, they look very close to done.
Looking awesome.
 
Yes I pulled them at probe tender around 200 then toss in a sauce and back in a foil pan for 30 minutes.

I had to rotate the rack, I think next time I will put a foil heat shield on the ones closest to the coals.
They turned out great family of 6 made short work of them.
 
Dan,
Thanks this was my first attempt at pork belly on my Weber.
We picked up a huge pork Belly at Costco.
My wife wanted it for a Japanese style pork Belly dish. When I saw it I thought. " Give me 1/3rd.

Cubing it before the cook allowed me to add rub on all sides.

It tasted like meat candy. Marshmallow soft with a full bite. Definitely doing these again
 
I cut mine about 1 by 1 and they do shrink a tad but not much.
It's a good 2 bite size.......I don't measure but aim for an inch.....
I used Malcom Reed's recipe my first time just for time suggestions...he does a great job and I use his rub on mine still.......
I forget now but I don't think it takes more than 3 to 3.5 hours.....but they are also easy to over cook....
If you follow his basics but use your own twists you will be an all star.
