I don’t have a smoker yet and just made my first pork belly burnt ends in the oven following a different recipe at 275 degrees. Can’t wait to try this one in the oven. Hopefully Santa brings me a smoker this year 😂 thanks for the awesome content!!

[guybowers]

I need to run out and get another pork belly which I really do enjoy. That cherry apple glaze just sounds really good too. A must try for sure

[Blackchucky]

Love your channel! Finding myself saving all of your tips even with items I already had down pat. Keep up the great work

[bmc]

Yes sir! PBBE are where it’s at! So easy and convenient. 👍🏻

I use those Royal oak in my ninja woodfire grill. They are some of the best pellets I have ever cooked with!

First time I’ve seen his video. Really terrific!

[judgewepbbq]

[michaelgreenwood]

You got my favourite channel for sure !

[robertbernal]

Those pork belly burnt ends look's so delicious especially with the glaze you used. I will have to order some of your products that l can't find here in AZ. Really liked your grill too. Have a terrific day.

Man I love your Garlic butter Seasoning. I use it all the time.

[robvalero]

You know when Heath post a video, you gotta save it. Another great video sir

[russellridge]

Man that was a beautiful belly. Lots of meat in there. Could smell them all the way to Texas. 👍

[edwardshumate]

I just want to know when you are going to bring some of them to me?

[keithtrosen]

I have these perfected and the guys from work buy the belly and I do it almost identical to yours. The temp is the key. 275 plus to render the fat. I use butter and brown sugar for the glaze because not everyone likes the same sauces as I do. You can sauce them after the cook imo. They are delicious.

Never trust nobody that don't like bacon XD

[natypes]

I will have to try this. I've been making bacon from the Kroger belly regularly. Do you know of a place near us (Southaven) who will slice my bacon for me? I'll gladly pay, but I don't have a slicer yet, but I think I'll buy one next spring. I use your garlic buttter, comp rub, jalapeno garlic and creole garlic butter rubs.

[DS_Dronezone]

Do you cook them in the direct heat or indirect?

[kennethgrossman]

man the Krogers around me do not have pork belly like that. Nothing around me carry pork belly, I have to order it online if I want it.

[brockcrabtree]

How much of each sauce did you add going into pan ?

[DS_Dronezone]

What internal temp will be reached when these are finished? 195f?
