Rib Tips And Pork Belly

I St. Louis cut my pork ribs, I like the way they cook and look.
Square cutting full racks of pork ribs yields a lot of trimmings or "tips", which my wife actually likes better than the ribs themselves.

I recently got a pork belly at my local meat supplier.

I marinated the belly in low sodium soy sauce, white wine vinegar and garlic powder for 10 hours. I rubbed it with Lawry's seasoned salt and coated the top with olive oil before I put it on the smoker.

I rubbed the rib tips with my standard pork rub.

I ran my 22 1/2" WSM up to 275F and put the belly on.
1 hour later, I put the rib tips on.
2 hours later, I glazed the tips with squeeze butter, honey, brown sugar and foiled them.
3 hours later, I pulled the tips and sauced them with Sweet Baby Rays Vidalia Onion sauce. I put them in a aluminum pan, foiled them, and put them back on the smoker for another 1/2 hour.

Rib tips rubbed up.

Rib tips are pretty popular around the St Louis area, backyard and at some restaurants.
