Pork Belly Burnt Ends SMOKED on the Pit Boss Austin XL

[@phamworks]

I really like how you summarize all the steps at the end of your videos. Very helpful!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I stopped doing that in my recent videos. I'll have to start doing them again!

[@thebluedragon777]

Lol, 'I'm not in a competition, I'm just a fat guy who wants to make really good food', love it brotha, keep it up 👍😉

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Haha thanks! I appreciate it. Love cooking and making videos!

[@mitmo03]

Subbed just because of this comment right on!!!

[@Pitsy]

Just a hint, add Worcestershire sauce as a binder and use a big foil tray to mix with the rub, amazing results

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That's a great tip. I'll have to try that next time I do these

[@TheDrunkenBBQ]

These are what i call cubes off joy. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Yeah they are so wild! Little juice bombs! I don't think I've ever had anything so juicy. Wish I could find the meat cheaper though. I paid 6 bucks a pound.

[@TheDrunkenBBQ]

@@Nicks-BBQ holy thats a lot, did you try to get it straight from a farmer

[@Nicks-BBQ]

@@TheDrunkenBBQ no lol. I usually get my meat from Sam's club. They don't carry it anymore so I had to go to a butcher shop near me. I called around and not a lot of places carried it only place I could find that had it available was 6 a pound.

[@thompsonsmusicgroupllc9374]

Lol, I made these following your directions, and man oh man! Great Burnt Ends!!!👍💣

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks! Glad they turned out

[@Howboutthemcowboys6639]

Doing my pork belly (that I haven’t F’d up yet). And I watch this guys video before EVERYTIME I smoke them. This guy is Baddass!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That's for the compliment! Hope they turned out great

Ty nick for the video, first time doing them to your way and they are awesome

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Glad they turned out great!

[@richardwyatt6898]

I put some rub in a zip lock bag and throw about 5 to 10 chunks and shake and repeat

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Yeah that's probably the smartest way to do it lol

[@markunger4501]

Fully understand that look on your face when you bit into the finished product. I can't wait to make these, rushing off to get some pork belly soon as I hit enter.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

If you get pork belly rendered right. It is like eating a gusher. If you remember those little snacks. Closest comparison I got to it. They explode with flavor

[@markunger4501]

@@Nicks-BBQ Going to make them up for New Years Eve. Pretty sure they are going to be a hit.

You my friend make great videos and like me are a true foodie the look of pleasure on your face when you bit into that is priceless! And you did my catch phrase, "shut up" 😂😂😂.... Although I usually follow mine up with a "stop it" thanks for the video my friend look forward to others and happy barbecuing to you

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Hey thanks so much for all of the feedback! I really do love food. It's yummy lol! Happy barbecuing to you as well.

Made these last night…delicious!! Thank you 👍

[@Nicks-BBQ]

No problem! Glad you liked them :D

[@dominichenderson4962]

Good videos mate 👍 keep it up. Think you should do some beef cheeks on the next video though.....maybe in some beef fat/tallow. Be banging

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I'll definitely add beef cheeks to my list of video ideas. I already have a list of videos in the pipeline so it would be a while before it went live. I've never made it before either so I'd do some practice runs so I don't mess it up lol

[@Bhilderbrand]

Found a 10lb belly for $43 at my local butcher shop. i brought it home and just finished this and holy wow is it good!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

It's delicious. So tender and juicy. Explosion of flavors for sure! 4.30. Pound is really good. Sadly I paid a lot more lol

I basted my pork with brown mustard mixed with hot sauce then used bearded butchersCajun seasoning then smoked to 170 then wrapped in butcher paper damn was it good. Making burnt ends now with maple seasoning and brown sugar and maple syrup. First time doing ether. Thanks for the brown sugar idea

Costco sells pork belly. I just bought 6.35lbs for $31.69. Will use your procedure tomorrow.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That's cheap! I don't have a Costco membership I might have to jump on that.

[@josephthomas6275]

Have you ever used maple syrup instead of brown sugar? Thinking about trying it

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I typically stick to a brown sugar honey mix for a lot of things. Only time I've used maple syrup is on ham. If you do try it let me know how it goes

[@scottr8975]

Just bought some pork belly from Costco for $27, going to cube them and smoke, do they hold up to eat for the next day or do you really have to eat them that night?

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Nah they hold up. Just bake them to reheat till 140 IT don't microwave

[@slvrbullet22]

Any chance you can link the racks you used ?

[@ruthvoorhies5970]

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thank you! I hope they turn out great for you.

[@adammcnaughton8814]

I find that if you watch just one video and try it. It will not work. I also find that different regions means different cook temps and times.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Every recipe I use is a culmination of like 5 to 7 different videos I've watched. With pork belly it's just important to cook it until it's 200 plus degrees and you'll have rendered bites.

[@JaydenBoxhall]

Gday mate are you talking degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius

[@chrisross1657]

Practice makes perfect with everything and I am trying to perfect P belly burnt ends. I followed another recipe that smoked the ends for 2.5 hours at 275 degrees. Then braising them in B sugar, butter, honey and a little apple juice for another hour at 275. Then glazing with sauce for half hour at 275. While they had great flavor the meat part was severely dry and tough. The fat part was great but that was it. I see you allow your ends to smoke at 200 deg for 3.5 hours. Then braise at 250 deg till they reach 200-205 deg. Should I be concerned with temp of the ends and not the cook time ? Some say to braise till ends are at 205-210 deg. I have only made them that one other time and I want to perfect the ends as I know they can be heaven in a bite ! Thank you !

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I smoke low and slow to get good smoke flavor then braise till they reach around 200ish degrees. Once you remove and put some sauce on them and cook another 15ish mins to caramelize they keep cooking past the 200 degree mark.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I would though try to cook these by temp and not time. Time can be a good bookmark on when you should move to the next step but I always add or remove time by the internal temp. Cooking too long will have great rendered fat but dry meat like you mentioned. Whereas you can have not rendered fat and moist meat. Which is worse in my opinion lol

[@davebear65]

Chris, I think I followed the same recipe you did. I got the worst results. They were awful. Hint: did the guy use Killer Hogs seasoning? lol. I think I'll try this one as he seems like he's got the temps right. Wish me luck!

I’m from south Louisiana went to local rouses and bought a half slab of pork belly and it was all mostly fat was it supposed to be that way ?

Pork belly is mostly fat yes. Bacon is mostly fat also, which is what Pork belly is before sliced
