Pre-Christmas Pork Belly

jdkeithbge

Bro-in-law in town for Christmas and wanted to do a pork belly. We picked one up from Costco today and I just got it on the egg. Blend of DP Cowlick, Raging River, and Jamaican Firewalk with pecan and oak wood for smoke. Going low and slow with intentions of making pork belly poboys with greens. Stay tuned...

This is my first pork belly. 12 hrs at about 215 degrees. Turned out really good, almost like boneless pork ribs. In slider form on Hawaiian roll with turnip greens!

Refreshing to see it cooked that way, looks good.

Did you cook it with or without the skin?

jdkeithbge

The skin was already removed on the one I got. Also we determined that French bread was a better choice for the sandwiches. The Hawaiian rolls couldn't hold up to those greens. It's been a big hit!

I want to try a slow cooked belly but it's a real pain to remove the skin before it's cooked and skin on is the only way I've found them in my area.
After it's a piece of cake.
