How to Make Pork Belly Burnt Ends in the Weber Kettle

[@ZeroVersatility]

I just did this last night. 3.5hrs total, first time using the snake method and it turned out amazing! Nice colour, fluffy and just melted in your mouth. Another win for me thanks to you!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Great work mate!

[@NezNen]

My buddy bought these out at a gathering last week. I ate like 25 of them. Amazing taste and texture!

[@LownSlowBasics]

So addictive hey!

[@tylerschrimpf640]

Thanks!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks so much! You absolute legend 🙏🙏🙏

[@n3hp5]

Buying a Kettle next year and have a feeling I will be watching all your videos religiously.

[@xNeonWarlockx]

As an American, i do appreciate the conversions. That being said, i DO have google and can always look it up so i also feel bad you needed to change the way you do things to accommodate us. Either way, i'll be making these tomorrow for American Football sunday! Thanks for the tips!

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Perfect finger food, one of my favourites and I love to experiment with different flavours

[@LownSlowBasics]

The best hey!

[@darrengibson2508]

Great video mate, i have a question, you said you want to stabalise your temp at around 275°F so you started to close the bottom vent when it was around 239°F how do you know at what temperature to start closing the vent to stabalise at your desired temp? Hope that makes sense. Cheers

[@RDPorRDU]

Another great video, From Adelaide Keep them coming!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers mate, snap!

[@JulianJoseC]

Trying this in the morning along with a Boston butt in the Weber...looking forward to seeing you work your magic on MKR!

[@ggamer7830]

I’m doing this and your crispy pork belly tomorrow. Going to start this nice and early since it’s the longer cook, then once it’s done (around for the arrival time of the guests) I’ll set the baskets up for the hot/fast crispy pork belly. Excellent videos, let’s hope I can get it as good as yours looks mate.

[@benjaminrigby8814]

Amazing! are you able to link the gloves you wear?

[@LownSlowBasics]

I can't remember as i found them in the garden section at bunnings, they are the ones i wear under my black samba ones.

[@danieljackson4353]

Awesome vid mate. Think I will pull out the Weber SM mini this Sunday and gives these a whirl. Nice way to spend Fathers Day. P.S. love the addition to the PL Sour!!

[@ColinFinlayson-w9x]

Hi mate, Just followed your Pork Belly Burnt Ends recipe, actually did them in a Cobb cooker, had a failure this morning, temperature spiked at 180 degrees and dried out the pork, reassessed and did another one and it turned out absolutely amazing and delicious, cheers!!

[@oohan101]

Awesome video! May I ask why you would always leave your lid vents wide open instead of closing them slightly to help if the bottom one isn't reducing the heat enough?

[@LownSlowBasics]

You definitely can. Just have to be very careful to not choke your fire.

[@oohan101]

Gday mate, any good ideas what to do with the skin thats cut off the belly?

Off cuts for mince and probably just a crackling snack with the skin. 😆

[@johnnyfarrugia239]

Great video. Keen to try. Would this work on a gas Weber summit? It has a smoking burner for the wood chips as well? Thanks

I found them at bunnings in the garden section!

[@smokinsholz306]

would most of ur webber kettle videos work with the rambler bro?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Pretty much :)

[@jayperkins86]

Could you smoke until tender (getting the longer smoke completed) then leave until later to glaze, finish off then serve hot? Think smoke in the morning then glaze to serve hot in the evening

[@LownSlowBasics]

You can do that if you like!

[@biga7722]

Finally found a local KZbin channel for bbq 😅 Nsw all the way

[@ajluvzlondon4214]

What’s the best/easiest way to explain “probe tenderness”? Thanks.

[@ggamer7830]

The probe slides on/put easily. Just like how you check potatoes are cooked… stick a fork/knife in them and lift them up. They should slip back down on their own. If you have to pull/push the meat off with effort, then it’s not tender enough

[@bullparnu7434]

Only done burnt ends once like this. Looked good smelt good but way too salty. Need to have another crack I think. Top video to mate

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks

[@bon0013]

Looks amazing!! I’ve left it to the last minute to cook one for grand final day and won’t have time to get the sauce off natural smoke. Any other sauces I can get from woolies/coles that could still work?

[@PopcornPlaya8589]

Is that just a little cast iron pan you used to heat up the glaze mate?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Sure is.

Trying this on Saturday & can't wait, is grill hot enough to do a couple of burgers near the end?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Awesome. Probably not for grilled burgers but you can always do smoked burgers!

[@BIGDIMSIM]

so if i probe them and there not soft enough its safe to keep going ? i was worried i would over cook them and they would go harder. thanks

[@LownSlowBasics]

That’s correct! You want an internal temp of around 205f/96c. Can go up to 215f before they are super soft but most of the time they are good around 205.

[@Oceanwazza]

I started drooling while I was watching… What brand of probe were you using at the end there? Seems like you got a quick temp or was that editing? Love your channel man 🔥 🍖

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks mate, I believe the link to probe is in description. Yeah was relatively quick, I think the whole cook was done in like 5 hours

Sweet video bro. Could this be nice with a whole pork belly?

What size Webber is this please buddy? Can only find 57cm but this looks bigger?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Definitely 57cm.

Where did you get the small pot for the sauce mate

[@lewiiis]

Hey Aaron, great video thanks! I've tried the snake method before (using your video) and it worked really well. One major problem though was the flavour, it was a really dirty smoke taste. is that to do with the quality of briquettes i'm using or something wrong with the method? i've pretty much followed the same as you've done here - thanks!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Could either be bad quality briquettes or you didn’t have your bbq hot enough. The snake method works similar to the minion method so when set up and ran properly there shouldn’t be an issue.

[@lewiiis]

@@LownSlowBasics thanks! I'll shop around for some better briquettes

[@JACQUESBDUPREEZ]

Snake method is a terrible idea. When starting to burn, there is always black bitter smoke coming from the briquettes, no matter what quality. Always cook on briquettes that has white overed,

[@willedwards7679]

@@JACQUESBDUPREEZ never had this issue with quality briquettes personally.

Hi Aaron just tried these and they were amazing, apart from on a couple of them the meat was a bit stringy and hard, not sure why? Thanks for the videos they are very helpful to a newbie like me.
