Bought some belly at Costco today. Get home and fire up the electric smoker and then go season the belly.

I check on the smoker, it won’t get above 147 deg and produce no smoke (of course).

I throw them in the oven at 225, and try something I’ve never done. I fired up my PK with a slow smoke.
I can do 1/2 of the belly at the time. I figure smoke them for a couple hours for each batch.
It was a pain in the arse trying to get the PK set up as a smoker.





Temp is up to 205 now

Do you have the vertical space available to maybe put a layer of pork belly, a wire rack on something to lift it up a little (I’ve used small pipe elbows) and then another layer of pork belly on the wire rack?

Dude, you a life saver. It never crossed my mind. I have a folding footed rack that fit perfectly in there. All bellies are in the grill.

Why did you cut the belly up before smoking? Don’t think I’ve seen that move before.

Yes, I know, but I like these strips because you get more rub and more smoke on them.
Plus they are trimmed
