- 1 cup Pork rub
- 8-10 pounds Pork belly sliced into cubes
BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 Tablespoons butter
Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit according to manufacturer's directions.
Trim excess skin and fat off the pork belly. Slice into 1½ - 2 inch cubs. Place in a large bowl.
Add your dry rub to the bowl with pork belly and toss until pieces are well coated. Place cubes onto a wire rack or directly on the smoker grates.
Close smoker lid and smoke for 2 hours. Look for a darker red color and modest bark to develop.
In a small bowl mix together BBQ sauce, honey and brown sugar. Stir until combined.
Remove the pork belly cubes from the smoker and place into a foil pan. Toss in BBQ sauce until covered. Slice butter into small slabs and place on top of pork mixture. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place back on the smoker.
Cook for an additional 90 minutes or until about an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the foil, close the lid to the smoker, and smoke for another 15-30 minutes to let the sauce thicken up. Remove from smoker and serve.
