Step 1

Preheat smoker to 225 – 250 degrees using fruit wood (we used cherry for color and sweeter flavor)

Step 2

Trim excess skin and fat off the pork belly and slice into 2 inch cubes and place into a large bowl. Add olive oil and dry rub liberally and then place cubes onto a wire rack or directly on the smoker.

Step 3

Smoke uncovered for three hours. Look for a darker red color and a modest bark develop.

Step 4

Remove the pork belly cubes from the smoker and place into a foil pan and then add your BBQ sauce, butter, and honey, and stir. Next cover the pan with aluminum foil and place back on the smoker.

Step 5

Cook for an additional 90 minutes or until the internal temperature (IT) is roughly 200 – 203 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6

Remove the foil, close the lid to the smoker, and smoke for another 15 minutes to let the sauce thicken up.

Step 7

Remove from smoker and serve.
