Who doesn't start drooling when there's a plate of crispy, juicy, and smokey burnt ends sitting on the table? While burnt ends used to be Friday night specialties in BBQ joints as a way to make a little money off of leftover scraps, now we see people going out of their way specifically for a crispy, burnt end sandwich. Today we’re sharing our favorite sweet and savory pork belly burnt ends recipe from our friend @grillin.good.eats so that you can have that perfect sandwich without having to leave your home.

Ingredients:

Recipe:

  1. Cut pork belly into one inch cubes.
  2. Preheat smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Use the super smoke option if available.
  3. Coat pork belly cubes generously with Bearded Butcher Hollywood rub ensuring all sides are well coated.
  4. Place pork belly cubes in a single layer spaced apart on a wire cooling rack that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

  7. Increase the temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and place foil pan back into the Traeger for one hour.
  8. Remove the aluminum foil cover and top with barbecue sauce of your choice. Mix well and smoke for 45 minutes.
