  • Today I'm making Smoked Pork Belly Burnt Ends on Pit the Barrel Cooker. We'll start with an 8.5 lb slab of pork belly. Remove the skin, cut it into 2" cubes and then head over to the Pit Barrel Cooker.
    Brine Ingredients
    • 8 lb pork belly
    • Runnin’ Wild Pecan Butter BBQ Rub to taste, more info www.armadillop...
    • Jalapeno Honey
    • 3 - 5 tablespoons Pappy’s XXX White Lightning BBQ Sauce, more info www.armadillop...
    • 3 - 4 tablespoons Jalapeno Infused Honey or your favorite honey
    • 1 stick butter
    Recipe Instructions
    1. Remove the skin from the pork belly.
    2. Cut the pork belly in 1.5 to 2” cubes.
    3. Season with the Butter Pecan BBQ rub.
    4. Place the pork belly cubes on a pre-heated (270 to 280 degrees F) Pit Barrel Cooker (with Peach and Maple wood chunks) and cook for approximately 3 to 3.5 hours or until a temp probe inserts easily into each piece. For my cook it was 3 hours and 20 minutes.
    5. Move the pork belly pieces to a foil pan that you have pre-sprayed with vegetable oil (to prevent sticking).
    6. Drizzle BBQ sauce on the pork belly burnt ends.
    7. Apply a light sprinkle of the Pecan Butter BBQ rub.
    8. Apply the honey.
    9. Cut the stick of butter into 6-7 pieces and put on top of the pork belly burnt ends.
    10. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place back on the PBC for 20 minutes.
    11. Remove from the PBC, let cool for 15 minutes and serve!

    Hey Jeff! I'm a Pit Barrel owner as well. If you can find Basque Sugar Maple lump charcoal in your area.. try it! Burns a bit slower than the others, but the results, especially with pork products is phenomenal. If I find my barrel running at 300+/- degrees, I shove a paper towel in the slot at the bottom, where the "altitude damper" is located on the barrel. That reduces air flow even more, allowing me to dial the temp in as low as I want. Thanks for the video. Headed to the mountains with my barrel in a few weeks... I just nailed the menu for our first night there!

      Hey Glenn, Thanks for both of those tips. Paper towel such a great idea. I'll look for the charcoal, and have a great trip!

    Way to go Jeff! I was looking for an easy pork belly recipe and now I've found it. Good instructions. My favorite part of the video was the smile you had when you took a bite of the burnt end. Good job!

  • @handcannon1388
    @handcannon1388 6 років тому +1

    Yes, I was the one who asked about the failed attempts. I've had my share. The key is to learn something from the failures - and the successes, for that matter. I've told many people that the difference between someone who cooks, and a "good cook", is only about 20% more attention to detail. When you try something new, take notes and then honestly evaluate the results, then make adjustments as necessary. It's just that easy (or difficult).

      I tried a Swineapple on Sunday. I wasn't impressed at all and probably won't make it again.

      I hear ya Bro! Yesterday, I wasn't paying attention and let a $22 Porterhouse get to medium on me when I really wanted a good medium rare. One of the things I like about the UA-cam platform is the ability to learn from others. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.

  • @psychosmurfer

    Looks great. awesome results. With regards the charcoal, I would agree with Nigel. In my experience lump burns hotter, if you want cooler temps I owuld give Brickets ago. I did the same as you with my first go at burn ends, cut them too small and they basically all burnt :( . Again, your results looked amazing. Now I am gonna have to make burnts ends this weekend.

    • @Armadillopepper
      @Armadillopepper  6 років тому

      I've read that as well. With that said, I always used briquettes in the PBC. That is what they recommend; every time I use lump, I am able to keep the temp lower in the PBC. Maybe magic! Thanks so much for watching and the feedback.

    • @psychosmurfer
      @psychosmurfer 6 років тому +1

    Those look fantastic and I think your independent taste tester will be volunteering for future cooks. Never cooked any pork belly burnt ends but from the looks of yours I think I need to give them a try sometime soon. Happy belated birthday to you!

    • @Armadillopepper
      @Armadillopepper  6 років тому

      Thanks Chief Hasben. So, I'm making a Swineapple on Sunday. I prepare the bacon weave and set it aside. While I'm coring out the pineapple I cut my thumb pretty bad. While I'm getting bandaged up, my independent taste tester grabs the bacon weave and bam! 1 LB of bacon gone.

    • @ChiefHasben
      @ChiefHasben 6 років тому

      Sadie certainly is a little weasel of a critter, isn’t she? Still a bunch of puppy left in her from the appearance. Maybe it’s time for a "Daddy to Doggie" talk wherein you can explain that it will taste better and settle a bit better in her tummy if she allows you to cook it before consumption? Heck, I dunno…but I’m guessing if she was actually able to consume an entire pound of raw bacon that the end result wasn’t good for her, or you. But I’m just basing that on past experience, so who knows…
      My money’s on Sadie😉

    • @Armadillopepper
      @Armadillopepper  4 роки тому +1

      What I found works best for me to minimize temp: I close the vent as much as possible, lid off and on quickly, leave the rods, light just a corner of the charcoal and sometimes I'll stuff a paper towel in part if the vent. Just gotta be careful not to create a fire. Hope you enjoy your new PBC. It rocks chicken!

    As for the recipe of the rub, I personally prefer something I can read in the "Show more" section, or a link to the product.

    • @Armadillopepper
      @Armadillopepper  6 років тому

      I've read that it cooks hotter, but after 5 cooks on the PBC, it always burns at a lower temp. I think it is because there are gaps between each piece and you light a very small area (that's my theory).

    Next time that you want your pit barrel to run slower simply take some aluminum foil and cover 1 or 2 of the holes around the rebar and close the damper on the bottom of the pit.

      ArmadilloPepper.com I cooked it for two hours in the pit barrel and the temp went it easily. I’m trying with a pork shoulder this weekend to compare (weather permitting). My pork belly may have been to fatty to start off. Another example of try and try again... lol... great video btw... I’m new to your channel...
