Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Remove the silver skin from the pork belly using a boning knife. You'll see some of the fatty skin is very thin with a silvery shine to it. Slice and pull off to remove. This doesn't cook down and stays a bit tough so it's best to remove it.
    3 lb pork belly
  • Slice pork belly COLD into 1" cubes
  • Place pork belly cubes in a large bowl and toss with bbq seasoning rub. Heavily coat all sides.
    1/2 cup Historic BBQ Red
  • Let rest for 15 minutes so seasoning adheres to belly bites
  • Preheat Traeger to 250 and be sure you have enough pellets in the smoker. I recommend Cherry or Hickory for this recipe.
  • Place pork belly bites on oven-safe racks fat side up. For 3 lbs I used two racks. Place racks onto the Traeger - preferably on the top rack if it's large enough.
  • Smoke for two hours. Check the temp with your meat thermometer and remove when the bites are 200 degrees.
  • Move bites to a grill skillet or disposable aluminum pan. Toss with bbq sauce so they are lightly coated. You don't want them to be sitting in sauce.
    1 cup Williamson Bros BBQ
  • Place pan back in grill for 15 minutes and then remove and eat!
