Tried making pork belly, burnt ends style over a week back. They turned out really well. Can't really call them burnt ends, of course: wrong cut from the wrong animal - but the method was the same. So tender . . . my co-workers made 10# disappear in one sitting.

During football season, I used Buffalo sauce instead of BBQ sauce to do this.  I've been requested to bring these to every football party I attend.

So, these are "green" pork bellies?  Not cured?

If that's directed at me, I smoked uncured bellies for about 2 hours at 225 after dusting with Sriracha powder, then cubed and panned with buffalo sauce at 375 until they were rendered.

That is correct. I'll be posting a "This is how I cook . . ." thread soon.

There are some YouTube videos showing this. They added brown sugar and a stick of butter to it after about 3 hours and smoked for another hour or so.  Think my heart stopped a few times as I watched them add the butter to the pork belly.

Well, then you have permission to give yourself a big pat on the back, cuz I got the idea from you! And thanks to you, I may never ever be able to walk out of Costco without a belly in the box. In fact, I've got one in the fridge now and waiting to find the time to cure it and do the same thing - I think I may just die and go to heaven.

I think you've got me beat handily.  My few attempts have been less than stellar.  My friend Kevin's attempts have been really good, yours look outstanding.   Let us know when you post the how do I cook.

I had trouble getting everything to render properly.   It seems a higher temp finish is key.

If my test nibble is any indication, these are going to be good.

I can't argue with success.  It looks great.
