My first try at pork belly burnt ends.  Here goes!



Caked with Savory Spices Platte River Rib Rub



I added a couple of large cherry chunks. Will run at 250 - 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hours then add the sauce and cover.

    I'm a firm believer in cubing it up prior to cooking. You appear to be off to a great start. Enjoy the tasty morsels!!

    I have to delay updates until tomorrow. Boss Lady cut her hand instead of an avocado. Lots of blood but she will be okay. She married former a Boy Scout.  :)

    There is an APL recipe for Brisket burnt ends with melted garlic that is incredible if you want to give it a go.

    Here's the finished product. It turned out great. Next time I'll cut the beast into thirds rather than half. Half a pork belly (4 pounds) is a lot for two people but it won't go to waste.



    Time to dig in.



    Plenty of leftovers for football today.

    That stuff is like eating the finest candy money can buy. I made it once and will again but not to often as it is fat. God was that stuff good though.

    Nailed that cook.  Love pork belly burnt ends.  Looks like somewhat close to Malcom Reed's great recipe, linked here:

    Congrats on the cook and follow-on eats.

    Yep. It's similar to Malcom Reed's recipe except I use my super secret BBQ sauce recipe.

    Leftovers were awesome. Warmed @ 250 degrees for one hour. 

    @GaryLange I agree. I'll only make this one or two times per year. OK...maybe three times per year.

    @1voyager - you are right about a meat coma after inhaling those groceries.  I make around 8 times/year but mainly as an appeitizer for a home or some invited function.  (Perhaps the reason for the invite?? ;) ).  Regardless, you can seriously overload in short order.

    Those look amazing.  I have only ever made bacon with pork belly because I know I'll like something like this a little too much.  I bet a few of those leftovers would make a killer taco.

    I agree on the taco idea.

    They would also would be great as croutons on a salad!

    How have I missed that recipe?  Holy cannoli that's a must do!

    @JohnInCarolina - You can run with the recipe cube size for a base-line but I have found that going around a 1/4" smaller on the size gives me a better rendering.  But I'm no Malcom Reed  ;)  Regardless, the recipe deals serious meat candy and early inhalation overload.  More than worth it.
    BTW- gives me a great counter to the brisket burnt ends crowd.  I will never figure out that attraction.  FWIW-

    I'll disagree with you on the latter, as I've only done them once, but I used APL's recipe for them with melted garlic.  That one is flavor overload man - worth trying.

    Made some as well last weekend using Malcolm's recipe. Definitely meat coma material. @1voyager, nice job!

    I've done Malcom Reed style meat candy a couple times. It's almost too tasty. You have to use restraint or you can hurt yourself. A long nap after the meal helps  ;)
