Instructions

  1. 1 Remove silver skin from the back of each rack. Rub each rack with 1 teaspoon salt and let sit for 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Slather 3 tablespoons mustard on 1 rack, then shake 1/3 cup BBQ rub on top; rub in on all sides until evenly coated. Repeat on the second rack and refrigerate both racks, covered, 8 hours to overnight. Set aside remaining BBQ rub.
  3. 3 Remove ribs from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread the remaining 1/3 cup rub over the ribs.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, mix dry wood chips with charcoal in a smoker and preheat, according to manufacturer's instructions, until temperature is a steady 225 degrees F (107 degrees F).
  5. 5 Place a water pan on the smoker (or use the smoker's water tray, if it has one) and add water to the depth of the fill line. Place ribs in the smoker and close the lid.
  6. 6 Combine apple juice and beer in a spray bottle. Spritz ribs every hour, rotating each time you spray. Cook for 3 hours, then remove ribs and check temperature. Wrap ribs in aluminum foil, and return to the smoker.
  7. 7 Smoke until meat pulls away easily from the bone, 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Remove from the grill and check temperature; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 170 to 180 degrees F (77 to 82 degrees C). The ribs will be very juicy but the outside will not be crispy.
  8. 8 Remove the foil and return ribs to the smoker. Cook until crispy, 15 to 30 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 190 to 195 degrees F (88 to 91 degrees C). Remove from the grill and tent with foil to allow juices to resettle into the meat before slicing and serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour water, sodium nitrate, curing salt, coarse salt, brown sugar, and maple syrup into a large kettle. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until everything is well dissolved. Pour brine into a 5 gallon plastic bucket and cool to room temperature, 6 to 8 hours.
  2. 2 Leaving the skin on the pork belly, cut against the grain into 4 to 6 slabs so they fit inside the bucket, and inside your smoker. Place into the bucket of brine, and weigh down with a glass or ceramic dish to keep the pork submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 7 days, rearranging the pork in the brine daily.
  3. 3 On smoking day, remove pork from the brine and rinse well under cold running water, rubbing to remove all external brine. Pat pieces dry and place onto smoker racks. Allow pork pieces to stand, preferably underneath a fan, until the surface of the meat becomes somewhat dried and notably glossy, 1 to 3 hours depending on air circulation.
  4. 4 Smoke pork belly slabs using wood of your choice at a temperature of 90 to 110 degrees F (32 to 43 degrees C) for 8 to 12 hours. Remove rind before slicing.

Instructions

  1. 1 Soak wood chips in enough water to cover for at least 1 hour before grilling. Drain wood chips.
  2. 2 Trim fat from pork roast. Combine 2 tablespoons snipped rosemary, garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and salt; sprinkle evenly over roast and rub in. Insert a meat thermometer into center of roast.
  3. 3 For a charcoal grill: Arrange medium coals around a drip pan; add 1 inch water to drip pan. Test for medium-low heat above the pan. (Hold your hand, palm side down, just above the place where the meat will cook for a count of five using a count of "one thousand one, one thousand two," etc. Being able to keep your hand there for a count of five is equal to medium-low.) Sprinkle half wood chips over coals; sprinkle 4 rosemary sprigs over chips. Place roast on lightly oiled grill rack over drip pan. Cover; grill until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), 1 to 1 ¼ hours. Add remaining wood chips halfway through grilling.
  4. 4 For a gas grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-low indirect heat according to manufacturer's instructions and lightly oil the grate. (Add wood chips and rosemary sprigs according to manufacturer's instructions.) Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover; grill until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), 1 to 1 ¼ hours.
  5. 5 Remove pork roast from grill; squeeze lemon or lime juice over roast. Cover with aluminum foil; let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Instructions

  1. 1 In a 2 gallon container, mix together the brown sugar, curing mixture, and water. Submerge the pork belly in the mixture so that it is covered completely. If the meat floats, you can weigh it down with a dinner plate or similar object. Refrigerate covered for six days.
  2. 2 Light charcoal in an outdoor smoker. Soak wood chips in a bowl of water. When the temperature of the smoker is between 140 and 150 degrees coals are ready. Smoke the pork belly for 6 hours, throwing a handful of wood chips on the coals about once an hour. Store in the refrigerator. Slice and fry as you would with store-bought bacon.
