You 💯 nailed that ! Excellent job :)

I love everything about this cook. The simple S& P rub, the color, the bark, very tender and juicy, the thick slices, cherry wood smoke. Oh yeah it's Pork, almost bacon. Out of the park for me. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

Hey James, I have got to try me some pork belly! I appreciate you using the Weber kettle for different cooks. It shows guys like me (who don't have a smoker) how to get the most out of my weber kettle. 👍🏾👍🏾

James, that looks great. I'm a big fan of the pork belly myself!!

Holy cow James that looked fantastic, I've never made or eaten pork belly but now I've got to eat some. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work my friend.

Awesome job, I just bought a weber kettle, all new to smoking and bbq, and must say, this weekend I will be using your brisket recipe for the first time and looking forward to seeing how it will turn out. Keep up with what you are bbqing! You have a new subscriber!

Dayuum good! Just picked one up yesterday! Going try this evening with my rub with some honey powder.

Mouthwatering cook brotha! Beautiful!

This was on point brotha James

Nice video but one thing I learned about pork belly if you cook with fat side up there's no need to wrap in butcher paper, there is enough fat in a pork belly there's no need because the pork is not drying out like a beef brisket would. Just smoked pork belly until internal temp of 200° - 210° depending what you're doing with the meat.

James that looked incredible brother.....I wanted some so bad !

Man alive that thing could turn into exactly one super fine sandwich!

Awesome bark brotha James... I've never done a pork belly so this is a must for sure👍👍

The use of mustard or any binder is only necessary if the meat is cold, or not near room temp, as it gets closer to room temp most meat will sweat naturally causing it to have its own binder.

Thanks ScodaWithLime! I would say 1hr per lb at about 250-275 would be a good guideline. Always remeber though that tenderness trumps temp. Use it as a guideline, but let the tenderness be the deciding factor in letting you know when it's done.

Hey Paul! I usually put lit coals like this when I'm wanting to cook something quicker, or hotter. For brisket, since it's a longer cook, I light the charcoal different so I can get a longer burn time. Hope that makes sense.

Both work great depending on what you're aiming for. For Pork Belly I like to focus on the bark so butcher paper it is. For something like a brisket I prefer to go with tenderness and try to save the juice so I'll go with foil.
