BBQ Pork Belly Burnt Ends by Matt Pittman - Traeger Grills

Step 1

When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 275°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Thoroughly coat all sides of the pork belly cubes with your Meat Church rub of choice. Let sit for 15 minutes for the rub to adhere.

Step 3

Arrange the pork belly cubes on a wire rack, fat-side down, then place the rack on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 190-195°F, about 3 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 45 minutes or as needed if the pork starts to look dry.

Step 4

Transfer the pork belly to a half-size (9 x 13-inch) aluminum pan. Season and toss the cubes with more Meat Church rub.

Step 5

Cover the pork belly cubes with the Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce. Drizzle the honey over the top, then toss until the pork is well coated.

Step 6

Place the pan, uncovered, on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for another hour, or until all liquid has reduced and caramelized.

Step 7

Let the pork belly bites cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
