Pork burnt ends--ruined

in Pork
I did pork belly burnt ends, bought from Costco, twice with excellent results. I had followed Malcolm Reed's method and required about 5 hours for the cook--3 hours smoking them, 1.5 hours in honey/sugar/butter followed by 15 min in glaze.
So thought of doing something special on Thanksgiving. Bought 9.5lbs pork belly from Snake River Farms. Put them for 3 hours at 275 and when went to take them out for the next phase , IT was already at 225F. I was not using meat probe as did not believe I needed one as had already cooked burnt ends twice before .
Lesson learned--ALWAYS use meat probes. SRF pork belly cooks really fast.
Am glad that I am not hosting dinner today but wanted to contribute something this evening.

Dang- great plan on your part. Sorry to read that. Like you, I have never thought of applying a thermo to pork belly burnt ends. Was the texture totally trashed due to the speed of the cook? The belly looks like it has a good amount of fat to render. Thanks for the PSA.
Time to get positive and have a Happy Thanksgiving.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
The texture was still great. My wife who doesn’t like pork was raving about quality of meat. I will definitely try SRF againBucks County, PA

@NewbeeMinimax - great move on your part. They will be gone quite quickly.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Update: served it for dinner—it was the first dish to run out. Most people didn’t notice that they were over cooked. It’s a great crowd pleasure dish AND SRF pork made the difference. Am happy with the outcome

They look great from here- just like extra crispy bacon!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Yep. I'd hit that.
