Pork Belly Burnt Ends and wings

Hi folks,

First post here, bought a large egg in May and loving it. I did pork belly burnt ends and chicken wings yesterday and they were delicious so I thought I'd share. 



I followed a general technique I found in the first few recipes i looked at.

Set the egg to 250 indirect and add a chunk of cherry wood

Cube belly to 2" chunks, liberally apply whatever rub you're using 

After 2.5 hours, move the ends to an aluminum pan and add bbq sauce, drizzle w a good bit of honey and 3 pats of butter, cover w aluminum foil

Let it run another 2-2.5 hrs

Uncover for 10 minutes before pulling off the grill

I started w 4# and wouldn't do less than that.

Here's a couple recipes that were my inspiration:

Chicken wings went on after the ends went into the pan, and corn on the cob followed later.  Here she is all loaded up:



I had 6 people, fortunately it was snack food for some, I'd probably do another pound of ends next time and stuff some more wings on as well in order to feed a group that size properly. 

Happy Fourth everyone!!


Wings were seasoned generously before going on the grill and that's as much prep as they received. Half got one spice mix and half got the other. Head Country is out of OKC.
