Pigskit to Pigskit Burnt Ends?

[STEbbq]

A waste of quality meat or genius idea? I have not had coffee yet so I don’t know.

Price deference between this and pork belly?

[jfmorris]

Major consideration! Pork belly is much much cheaper! Like $3.99 a pound at Costco versus $20 for a 1.25 to 1.75 pound pork brisket at Porter Road...

I think it would be a waste. The pigsket is a nice juicy piece of meat, but I think it is more like a brisket flat than it is a point. Plus the treatment as burnt ends would mask that awesome porky flavor of the pigsket.

Good points on price and flavor jfmorris and HawkerXP . I am usually the only one who eats pork in the house and the pigskit is my favorite so I order one for me every once in a while. This time, the exchange student may have some so that is a plus.

I think what I will do is see if my kids like the pigskit this time around as well as the exchange student. If successful, I will order some Berkshire pork belly from Wild Forks (4 pounds versus the 10+ from Costco that we’d never be able to eat) for the next porky meal. If not, we’ll stick to the occasional pigskit.

Sounds like a plan! I would do burnt ends or bacon with the pork belly though...

Definitely burnt ends jfmorris !
