First smoke on my Hasty Bake Legacy 133

[Duanessmokedmeats]

First smoke on my Hasty Bake Legacy 133.
I did Root Beer Pork Belly Burnt Ends.
Did a snake method. Got the temp to 225 put the PB on the grate and got up to 275.
It fluctuated between 225 and 300. But I learned how to manage the fire with the vents, and cracking the door once to maintain temps.
Once @200IT put into 2 pans (it was 2 pork bellies) put a cup of wild flower honey and 1/2 bottle of Honey Moonshine bbq sauce.
Put back on uncovered for 30 minutes, until bubbling.
Covered and put in electric smoker at 195. Waiting fir dinner.
They are delicious.
Since I had more fire grilled 12 pieces of bacon in my new griddle. I had it a little hot, but know now what to do.
I am going to enjoy this grill.

1. Slice pork belly into 2” cubes, place in large steam pan, and marinate overnight in root beer, covering all the meat. Drain pan and pat dry the cubes.
2. Toss pieces heavily in BBQ rub. Place on rack, fat side up.
3. Place on the Hasty Bake grill at 275 degrees, firebox in the smoke position
4. You’ll cook for 2.5 hours or so until the fat is rendered and color is dark. Internal temp will be around 200 degrees.
5. Place in steam pan and cover with BBQ sauce and 1 cup of honey.
6. Place back on grill for 20-30 minutes until sauce sets. Plate and serve!
7. Enjoy!
