Another "first" accomplished - Pork Belly Burnt Ends

June 30, 2018, 04:50 PM

I followed Malcomb Reed’s recipe on YouTube, only difference was I used Blues Hog rub and Blues Hog Tennessee Red sauce. Setup the 26â€ & SNS with some Weber briquettes and cherry wood, and it was smooth sailing. Family loved it. Very rich, definitely will be more of a Super Bowl party item. Next time I might take more care to cut slightly smaller cubes, and possibly smoke & caramelize a little more than what he calls for. But man... what amazing little morsels of goodness!

Looks good! I felt that the recipe has too much liquid, so I have dialed it back a bit.

Thanks! Yep, I would agree with that. Was looking for a bit more sticky caramelization. Good idea on the dialing back.

They look great. I had the same thought about cutting smaller cubes last batch I did. Perhaps I'll have cook up another batch.

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).
