First Try At Pork Belly Burnt Ends for Fathers Day

in Pork
I had some pork belly in the freezer so I thought I would try to smoke some pork belly burnt ends. I followed this recipe.

They tastes great, but they didn't shrink and render down like thought. I smoked them for 2.5 hours at 250. I think next time I will up the temp and chip for 3 to 3.5 hours or keep it whole.





I did some beans as well.

They look great to me!
You can always smoke for longer until you get the rendering you like before moving on to the next step.Cheers,

Looks great from here. I tried that recipe a few weeks ago and came to the same conclusion. Next time I will make the initial cubes smaller and see how that turns out.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

When everyone started arriving and I had to cook burgers I forgot to get a final temp reading. They were 165 to 170 when I put them in the pan to braise. They taste good, but I think I like pork butt burnt ends better and of course my favorite burnt end is brisket point.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo. -
@Ladeback69 - touche with the burnt ends.

I made them Friday, followed recipe to a T and they turned out great. Most of fat rendered out but not quite all. They were a hit.

@DiamondRCattle - welcome aboard and enjoy the journey. Above all, have fun.
Great result right there-must just be the nature of the piggy

Nice a large and XL out of the gates. I would love to add a second Egg, but SWMBO says different.DiamondRCattle said:Thanks guys, long time lerker first time poster.
