Notes

We highly recommend using the Bear Mountain BBQ Bold BBQ Pellets to add a smoky flavor to the pork belly! You can purchase these pellets online or at Lowe’s stores. Plus, using the Spiceology Smoked Maple Sriracha Rub is ideal for adding a nice bit of spice and smokiness to your pork belly.

This recipe makes approximately 8-12 servings, so you can even double or triple the recipe for big parties! Keep in mind you will need to get an extra rub to coat the outside of each pork belly.
