Pork Belly Burnt Ends

in Pork
One of our favs and been getting nudges that it's past time to make them.  About a 5 lb. slab cut into approx. 1½" squares, dusted with Spicy Dizzy Pig.  On the Egg at 250 with apple wood chunks...


Smoked for 2½ hours then into the sauna for about 2 hours with brown sugar, butter and blue agave (out of honey somehow)...
Drained the liquid decided to save for an unknown future use.  Glaze applied then back on at 300 to firm it up.  By choice I omitted apple jelly and used a strawberry serrano jam in the glaze, also omitted the hot sauce because of the serrano's...
Ready to eat after about 30 min...
Plated up with yucky peas and dinner salad not shown...
It was a fine meal!

    That looks so good  Next time we get invited to a get together this will be something I'll try. I've never made burnt ends and never cooked with pork belly. This will be fun.

    I've made these a couple times. Never not yummy. Use discipline though as you can hurt yourself if you overdo it.  :)

    Your garnish looks gross and unnecessary.  Otherwise, perfect.

    It would have been worse if I hadn't omitted the salad!
