Pork Belly BBQ ?

Teefus

I’ve done pork belly burnt ends a couple times. Looking for something different.  I’ve got half a belly I was thinking of cooking low and slow like a rack of boneless ribs. Anyone gone there? Tips?

My suggestion would be to use it as part of a banh mi type deal.

Not sure how lbs your 1/2 a belly is, but ever done bacon? Could be a good size portion to test it out on. If you ruin it, you could toss it or if it’s too salty use it as salt pork for a chowder base. 

If it’s big enough, porchetta? 

If you’re sticking to low and slow, you’ll probably want something to crisp it up afterward- a griddle, flat top, deep fry, etc. 

I do like the bahn mi idea...

I like making sandwiches with pork a few ways.  For a half belly I would do 40% pulled, 30% slices and the rest as burnt ends. 

1 - pull slices off and rest around 165-180

2 - cut your cubes and keep the burnt ends going. Continue as normal 

3 - make a small pulled pork


this makes an amazing sandwich. I’ve done it before with turning the other half of the belly into bacon but without a week in between this is a great cook that allows for different textures and flavours

Cook it like a brisket and put it on a bun with a egg on top gooood
