apple cider vinegar

brown sugar

bourbon

pinto beans (drained and rinsed)

kidney beans (drained and rinsed)

Preheat.

Preheat. Start up your smoker. You&#39;re looking for a lot of thin blue smoke and a consistent temperature around 225 degrees F.

Season the pork.

Season the pork. Liberally season the pork belly on all sides with the Sweet Rub.

Smoke the pork belly.

Smoke the pork belly. Once the grill is smoking, place the seasoned pork belly fat side up on the grill grate and close the lid. Smoke for 2 hours.

Make the braise.

Make the braise. Combine the apple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and bourbon in a large Dutch oven. Remove the pork belly from the grill and place it in the dutch oven. Cover the Dutch oven with the lid, return to the grill and increase your grill temperature to 275 degrees F. Cook for an additional 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

Shred the pork.

Shred the pork. Drain excess liquid from the Dutch oven and set aside. Shred the pork belly, removing any excess fat.

Finish cooking.

Finish cooking. Return the shredded pork belly to the Dutch oven. Stir in the beans, onion, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Cover with the lid and return to the grill. Cook for 2 more hours or until the ingredients are well combined and at the consistency you like. Add additional BBQ sauce if you like your beans a little thinner!
