Recipe For Saucy Smoked Pork Belly Morsels
You know what Double Smoked Brisket Points are. I have yet to make them (they’re on the list I swear!) However I happened to have a butt load – this is an actual unit of measurement – of pork belly waiting for me to turn it into something incredibly delicious. These Saucy Smoked Pork Belly Morsels are so incredible; I am seriously salivating while I type this! Crispy, smoky, tender, flavorful, saucy, there is literally nothing these morsels of meat are not.

Method
Photos
4 lbs. (at least)
pork belly, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup
your favorite BBQ rub
wire rack that fits inside the grill/smoker
1 bag
apple or maple wood chips (or both)
To Finish
1 cup
your favorite BBQ sauce
2 tbsp.
butter
2 tbsp.
honey
2 tbsp.
brown sugar
- Slice your pork belly into cubes no smaller than 1-inch, but not much bigger either. Coat each cube with your favorite BBQ rub. I used some pork seasoning from the world champion BBQ Wiesel Grill Team from Germany, but you can try one of our homemade rubs, or use your favorite.
- Use a charcoal chimney starter to light a full load of charcoal. Once it’s ready, preheat your smoker to 230°F by spreading the coals out in a single layer on one side of the smoker’s charcoal tray. If you are using a kettle grill, make sure that there is some space between the heat source and the pork belly.
- Place the pork belly onto a wire rack. This is so that the small chunks of pork belly don’t fall through the grids. Lay the pork belly out in a single layer with a little space between each chunk. Add the wood chips to the lit coals and smoke for 2 hours or until the pork belly has a lovely bark and deep reddish color. You will need to add wood chips periodically but shouldn’t need to add more charcoal.
- Once smoked sufficiently, transfer the pork belly chunks to a foil pan or baking pan. Add the BBQ sauce, butter, honey, and brown sugar. Cover the top with foil and return to the smoker for another hour to hour and a half, until the internal temperature of the pork belly chunks has reached 200°F.
- Uncover and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens to a sweet and sticky consistency.
- Serve the Saucy Smoked Pork Belly Morsels as a little nibbly appetizer at parties, nestled in thick and pillowy flatbreads, or as a side to a large and luscious salad.
You can use your gas grill to make this delicious BBQ recipe by using the Napoleon Stainless Steel Smoker Tube placed over a single lit burner. Place a baking sheet on the sear plates under the seasoned pork belly chunks. Use indirect heat, and remember to use a wire rack to ensure that the pork belly doesn’t fall through the cooking grids.
