Pork Belly on the 42" SBB

[tailc]

I've been slacking and haven't shared any photos of the 42" in action.  I know my first cook was suppose be a whole hog, however I've sidelined this until spring; weather has been too unpredictable for a party .

At any rate, I decided to use Steve Raichlen's recipe for this cook and let me tell you......... you've got to try it if you haven't!!!!!!  It took about 4hrs at 250; I pulled it once internal temp hit 190.  Below are the pics

Your pork belly cook looks fabulous and I am positive it tasted the same.

That looks fantastic. Where did you source the pork belly?

[Garvinque]

What a beast and the pork belly served with the Chinese buns looked great too!

Nope, I've been cooking on it pretty much every chance I get.  I've been a slacker when it comes to posting pics .  Here are some pics of a brisket and ribs I cooked; look at how small a 15lbs brisket looks on this grill

Village Butcher at Hilltop; they are the best!!  You should check them out considering you are in Norfolk

Great, I've been there before but it has been a while. I'll check it out.

I was wondering why you went to all that work to cook such a small brisket and now I know the whole story.  Big brisket bigger grill.

Very cool! Interesting how you're using the upper grate in the main position. Makes sense.

It's really not how I should use the upper grate for slow and low; however it works for me

It makes that brisket look like a hamburger.

Absolutely works but not as good for me marketing wise as it's a much smaller grate than the main ones installed.  The main would dwarf the meat better.. Thanks for posting either way.. Love to see that SBB in action!
