Saw some pork belly and bought it. I've got a Big Green Egg. Just smoke it? What cooking temperature and what should be the final IT?

T00f, I'm going for edible.


The burnt ends look money but trying to lay off the sugar.

Pork belly is great smoked but I think it really shines if you braise it, cool it overnight in its braising liquid (bonus points if you can press it down with some weights), then sliced and reheated while basting it it with some butter. Strain and reduce the sauce.

I vote for the smoke it whole then pull it. There is a reason Myron Mixon calls it ice cream. Cause if you do it right it melts in your mouth.

I did this and it came out fantastic.

I did leave it in the oven a little longer than what they say and I put it back in for another 10 or 15 minites after I cut about half of it up.
