I am thinking of coating them in apple butter, then caramelize.

Season with Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub or Lambert's Sweet Rub O Mine. Hang on Pit Barrel for 4.5 to 6 hours, usually IT of 170+.
Wrap in butcher paper, put on the grate, until 195. Cut into 1.5" cubes, place in a pan with juice from paper, then coat with Meat Mitch Whomp sauce and lightly sprinkle rub onto cubes. Add 4 pats of butter, and can of drained pineapple chunks. But pan back on grate in Pit Barrel for 1.5 to 2 hours, stir after an hour and add sauce if necessary.

First test cook on pork belly. Fun so far. this package was already cut 3/8 inch thick. Set pellet grill at 275. Smoked 2 hours with BBq rub, wrapped in foil, butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar. For 1 hour, IT was 210, removed foil and brushed on Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. Let that caramelize for 15 min. Landed it up on a brat bun, one of the best bacon sandwich I ever had. Looking forward to the next test cook.

I have been cooking my pork belly in sous vide at 160 degrees for 24 hours covered with a slightly spicy rub. Then I take it out of the bag and chill it overnight before cubing and recoating with rub. On the smoker for 4 hours at 225, then use a sweet sauce to coat and put back on to set the sauce. The spicy rub and sweet sauce compliment each other and the sous vide helps break down the fat.

First time cooking pork belly. I like your method. since I bought 2 of them to experiment with. I'm doing some your way. Did you buy a slicer? I telling you this stuff is addicting. Like crack. 24 hours seam's like a long time to SV.

randy.56 I have a slicer but when I sous vide the pork belly I cube it into burnt ends.
