I used this recipe: https://blog.thermoworks.com/pork/asian-pork-burnt-ends/

Thanks to these previous forum posters for bringing the recipe to my attention: https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1222882/sticky-asian-pork-belly-burnt-ends and https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1223123/asian-pork-belly-burnt-ends

Started with a 5 lb. Duroc pork belly:

Seasoned and on for the "smoking" phase. Also, this is my maiden cook on my new CGS rig! Shoulda bought that 10 yrs ago!

After the "sticky" sauce caramelized, garnished with sesame seeds, jalapenos (recipe called for serranos, but had none) and dried scallions.... my sous chef "accidentally" tossed the fresh scallions I had set aside after using the bulbs in the braise.
