Ingredients
  • 3 pounds pork belly, skin removed, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1/4 cup BBQ dry rub
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, cubed
Instructions
    1. Preheat the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C) with hickory, oak, or fruitwood for best flavor.
    2. Season the Pork Belly: Toss the pork belly cubes in olive oil, coating evenly. Generously sprinkle BBQ dry rub over the cubes until all sides are coated.
    3. Smoke the Pork Belly: Arrange the pork belly cubes on the smoker grate, making sure they don’t touch each other. Smoke for 2 to 2.5 hours or until they have a nice smoky color and an internal temperature of about 190°F.
    4. Prepare the Sauce: In a large aluminum pan, mix BBQ sauce, honey, brown sugar, and butter until smooth.
    5. Combine & Smoke Again: Transfer the smoked pork belly cubes to the aluminum pan with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly, then cover the pan with foil.
    6. Cook Until Tender: Return the pan to the smoker for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the pork belly reaches an internal temperature of 203°F and is tender and sticky.
    7. Finish & Serve: Remove the pan from the smoker and let the burnt ends rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot as an appetizer or add them to sandwiches, tacos, or sliders.
