Yield:
Serves 4

Prep Time:
15 minutes

Cooking Time:
3 hours, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 lb. Ontario pork belly
  • 3 tbsp(45 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) pork rub (use your favourite)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) sweet heat BBQ sauce (use your favourite)
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) butter (no salt added)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
  • 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) Sambal Oelek (Indonesian chili sauce or paste)

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Remove the layer of skin from the pork belly (or ask your butcher to).
  2. Preheat your smoker, pellet grill or gas grill with smoker box, to 275°F.
  3. Slice the pork belly into 3/4 inch cubes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cubes with the olive oil and pork rub. Toss well to coat evenly.
  5. Add the seasoned pork belly cubes in a single layer to a mesh rack. Place rack directly on grill grates (using a mesh rack will ensure you don’t lose any tasty pork candy, through the grates, as it shrinks).
  6. Smoke for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The meat will have shrunk and started to crisp on the edges.
  7. Lower smoker/grill temperature to 250°F.
  8. Place pork cubes into a large aluminum pan. Combine BBQ sauce, butter, honey & Sambal Oelek, then add to pan and toss well to coat.
  9. Cover with foil and return to the smoker/grill for 1 hour.
  10. Remove the foil and continue to smoke for 30 minutes until sauce is set.
