          Cook a lot of bellies its my favourite piece of meat. Have two 4 pounders in fridge that will be treated with the same love you gave yours tomorrow. Don't have same rub and will use KC BBQ sauce.

          Yours look super sensational.

            Thanks! Pork Candy is on my "to-do" list. Will follow this recipe when that time comes. The Killer Hogs rub is good stuff.
