Pork Meat Church Pork Belly Burnt Ends

[ConanLloyd]

For my 3rd cook I’m trying Matt Pittman’s Pork Belly Burnt Ends. Just put them in at 250 after cutting into roughly 1 inch cubes and liberally dusting with Honey Hog BBQ rub.

I’ll update after the next steps.

Nice. Don't forget to spritz with apple juice every 45 minutes. I do his recipe all the time, but skip the saucing.

Leave a few aside and try them with just the dry rub and compare.

Well crap, I don't have anything to spritz with. I'm guessing that might increase my chances to get dried out ends?

Sigh, another lesson learned and thing to buy.

This is one of my favorite things to cook. It's easy, not that expensive and tastes great!

If you have an extra tray around somewhere, throw it in the grill with some water in it. It'll help with the moisture since you don't have anything to spritz them with this time.

Here they are when I pulled them…

Sauced and back on…

So far I’m 3 for 3! They came out tasty and tender. SWMBO and the midget loved them.

Next up are the steaks tonight and I’m planning a pork butt for later this week.

I use this. It's a bit overkill, but works great and is easy to clean.

I also buy apple juice in boxes. It has a long shelf life and I use 2 boxes for burnt ends and also for ribs.

You can spritz with water. It’s free.
