Pork belly burnt ends question.

Jeffroe189 · July 2017

I bought 8lbs of sliced pork belly from Costco today to do my first pork belly burnt ends. I have read several post here and other places and have a plan but I also have a few questions.

1. I plan on coating them in Meat Church The Gospel rub and smoking them tomorrow. Should I coat them now and let them sit overnight or just wait and do it tomorrow?

2. I plan on smoking at 250 for 2hr then in a pan with butter, brown sugar, and honey for another 2 hr. These are about 1in thick slices that I will most likely cut in say 2 in sections. Most of the things I have read suggest cutting in 2in x 2in chunks. Should I expect these to cook faster because they will be smaller pieces or will 4hr total be ok?

Last question. If these finish up faster than expected or early what the best way to reheat?

I swear by the following process, although cutting them a little smaller works better. Overnight coat won't hurt. I use the cubes but just adapt. Never have dealt with the reheat as they are inhaled. You can place in a foil pan and cover-they will still be meat candy for a good 90 mins. Beyond that I would cover tightly and place in an oven on the lowest temp you have.

That is the exact recipe I was going to follow. The only difference is the rub and sauce I will use.
