never cooked this before and decided on a whim to buy the ingredients and give a try. Belly and loin, herbs,garlic , some zest. Added the drip pan on top of the spider because the flare ups from drippings were a bit much after the first 30 minutes. Hope to achieve some crispy skin, couple hours to go.

Pulled at 170 and going to warm in the oven until dinner. Skin is somewhat crispy, I've been pulling some taste tests through the cook.

Some thoughts. Cooked total 4 hours or so my loin ended up being slightly overdone.
my skin was not the best but when i go to reheat I know it will fry up nicely. Perhaps my temp was not high enough initially to get the skin crispy I ran about 350 degrees.
I have seen some posts online guys saying they used shoulder instead of loin. I think the loin is a great balance to the fatty belly. It mixes nicely. A shoulder in there with belly I feel would be way too greasy but that's my opinion.
It was fun to try this and I have 5 vacuum sealed packages for future use.

Leftovers are great. The reheat on stove top crisps things right up. Put on some homemade sourdough with a slice provolone.

@SkinnyV--cooking mine tomorrow from your inspiration. Brinning now in Adam Perry Lang brine for pork belly with some modifications. Then planning an herb rub before tying it up. Plan to start it at 400 to then get it down to 350. Any suggestions, let me know. ThxBGE Large and MiniMax, Napolean 500. Obsessed with rotisserie.
