Just tried doing something for the first time. Pork belly burnt ends. I cured a pork belly in maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt for three days. Put that on the smoker for a few of hours until it got to about 180, pulled it off, sliced and cubed it, covered the bites in karo syrup and a brown sugar and pepper-heavy rub, and put them back in the smoker for a couple more hours. Combination of hickory, apple, and pecan wood. They turned out great. Good sweetness with plenty of bacon flavor. Can't wait to make them again and try a few different things.
