Belly Pork Roast and Brussel sprout bacon bake..

johnmitchell

I found this Pork belly at our local supermarket..Decided to roast it indirect at about 400 F for as long as it takes.I am going to do it fat down until I get to about 145 IT then flip it over and crank the egg up to pop the crackling. Not sure if this will work but gonna give it a bash..I also made up a little bacon lined dish filled with Brussel sprouts,diced pancetta,red peppers,and horseradish cheese.This will go in at some time during the cook.. More pics to follow..Everyone enjoy your Saturday...

Ok... Change of plan with the Belly...I decided to go a little slower on the front end now running at 300F Dome and added little Apple wood for smoke. I think this will render really nicely at that temp. The big advantage is more time for adult beverages..More to follow...

2 hours in...Just bumped to 350F...Smells Awesome.

Flipped Belly over and bumped again to 420F to start crisping the crackling..
