Smoked Pork Burnt Ends with Chocolate BRQ Sauce

I made one mistake and that was buying meat from Rouses, which I try not to do. But they had something they claimed was Pork brisket & rib ends. There were rib ends, but I don't think there was any brisket. Should have gone with my initial plan and used pork belly.

Pork Rub
Salt
Black pepper
Brown sugar
15 spice blend

Rubbed pieces and put into zip bag and refrigerated for 2 days. Onto the BGE at 225F


Chocolate Glaze/BBQ Sauce
Butter
Brown Sugar
Mexican chocolate
Cider vinegar
Tomato paste
Adobo sauce
New Mexico Chili pepper (mild)
Mexican oregano
Cumin
Orange juice
Orange zest



Then added orange juice & zest


After meat reach ~190F, pulled, put in aluminum pan and sauced. Raised temp setpoint to 350F on grill.



Cooked for another hour.



Served with grilled potatoes, onions & peppers, squash & broccoli
