Pork Belly is the second only to Brisket but amazing, yes I am a Texan.

You 💯 nailed that ! Excellent job :)

I just paid 54 dollars for my pork belly. Prices sure have changed. Let's Go, Brandon.

I’m doing pretty much the same thing tomorrow, but I’m going too try and make the skin nice and crispy. Looks great James!

Mouth is watering just watching this video. When you took a taste test of the corner when wrapping , I was laughing!! Thank you for sharing.

I love everything about this cook. The simple S& P rub, the color, the bark, very tender and juicy, the thick slices, cherry wood smoke. Oh yeah it's Pork, almost bacon. Out of the park for me. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

I was just getting my sights set on my first smoked pork belly and lo & behold, James on it like always, turning up to 11!! Appreciate you.

This video was EXACTLY what i was looking for! Will do this today. :)

Came out perfect. I'm starting to become a fan of Texas barbecue rub..Salt n pepper.

Another homerun video my brother! Great job! Central Texas style is my go to...awesome! ....and DEEEELICIOUS looking pork belly 👍

Looks san-marvelous!

Looks great I'm going to fix this tomorrow

Nice video but one thing I learned about pork belly if you cook with fat side up there's no need to wrap in butcher paper, there is enough fat in a pork belly there's no need because the pork is not drying out like a beef brisket would. Just smoked pork belly until internal temp of 200° - 210° depending what you're doing with the meat.

I enjoyed this video a lot. Can’t wait for the weekend

That expression on the taste test summed it up for me... James, thanks-

Man that looks just awesome. Keep it going James!

Alright, I just hafta say this...... the freakn color of the bark at 9:40 is drop dead gorgeous! I would have thought you used a paprika based rub. Definitely the best I've seen👌 I just bought another slab of pork belly and will be hanging it on the WSM sometime this week. 🤤

Watched several recipes for pork belly... I think I'll use this one.

Doing this today. But I will add an additional rub which I have not decided on yet.

Were trying this on Sat, thank you for uploading this video

yummm I'm making this tomorrow🎉

Love that savory pork belly bro!!! S&P for the win again!!! Great stuff. Thanks for sharing brother.

Dayuum good! Just picked one up yesterday! Going try this evening with my rub with some honey powder.

Used your video as a guide to make a pork belly for the first time. Wow. I think it’s the best tasting anything I’ve smoked. Lots of compliments. I’m from Mercedes, TX. Wish I could have made it out to Smoking on the Rio to say hi.

Did a 6lb from Costco for 5 hrs at 250. Excellent!

Holy cow James that looked fantastic, I've never made or eaten pork belly but now I've got to eat some. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work my friend.

DAMN!!! James pork belly is absolutely mouthwatering some Sammich would definitely the way to go.

I've never have had pork belly like that. I need to try it. I have 10 lbs of belly curing for bacon now. FYI I like the UofA Wildcat clock behind you! Happy BBQing!!

Wow the cook you got on this looks amazing! Mouth is watering 😋good video!👍👏

enjoyed your video guy😊

Awesome job, I just bought a weber kettle, all new to smoking and bbq, and must say, this weekend I will be using your brisket recipe for the first time and looking forward to seeing how it will turn out. Keep up with what you are bbqing! You have a new subscriber!

Dang that looks good James! Pork belly really is all that good, I like the idea of a simple salt and pepper rub.

Great video I am new to the channel but you got a fan here

“Man , I got to try it. I can’t help it, I got to try it. I got to try a little pice real quick. Ummmm. “ Dud3 right on. Me every time. Trusting this tomorrow. Appreciate the info sir.

Man that looks great bro. I've got a small problem belly in the freezer. I'm going to have to give this a try. Awesome job!

Pork belly looked delicious.. i have to try this and burnt ends. Might i add your nephew favors you alot!

Hey James, I have got to try me some pork belly! I appreciate you using the Weber kettle for different cooks. It shows guys like me (who don't have a smoker) how to get the most out of my weber kettle. 👍🏾👍🏾

Awesome bark brotha James... I've never done a pork belly so this is a must for sure👍👍

Looks great! I’m gonna try this next weekend!

Mouthwatering cook brotha! Beautiful!

The use of mustard or any binder is only necessary if the meat is cold, or not near room temp, as it gets closer to room temp most meat will sweat naturally causing it to have its own binder.

It's nice to see someone actually use a sharp knife.

James, that looks great. I'm a big fan of the pork belly myself!!

This recipe was dope!! Thank you

That’s mouth watering bro

Man alive that thing could turn into exactly one super fine sandwich!

Great trimming man I wouldn't have gone to those lengths but I think I will next time. Just got a new smoker today!! (from Wayfair oops! Didn't know at the time!)

Looks good thanks for the tutorial

This was on point brotha James

Shut the front door. Lol I'm hungry. Have a great day. I always sneeze when i sniff pepper or if I'm cutting a white onion eyes burn. The only one that doesn't is the sweet onion.

James that looked incredible brother.....I wanted some so bad !

Looks great! Best pork belly I’ve had was central Texas style 👍🏼

Nice

This was fantastic!

Damn, James. When you said nephew I thought it was gonna be some cute kid that’s gonna taste his first bbq. Caught off guard

that is real nice work there my friend.. I am going to be doing PB real soon... I will post up as well. Inspiration, lol.

That looked really good brother James ...it's hard to find pork belly in my area . when I do though I enjoy it .. Cheers 🍻

Great video James! So whats preference now between doing a foil boat or wrapping it in butcher paper?

That pork belly looked great Brother James! its going on my to do list for sure!

Brotha James !!! All I Can Say Is " OUTSTANDING " I Like The Salt & Pepper Also , I Use 50 / 50 . Another Fine Fine Video My Friend

Wow...

Another Great Video Brother!!!!!!

How long u think it would take to cook in n a electric smoker ? What was ur total cooking time ?

James, a great cook. On your grill set-up it didn't look like you were using the minion method like you usually do. Did you just put about a half chimney of lit coals in the Slow N Sear? Thanks for any advice you can give.

Bear Down my Friend

I'm so glad h.e.b. keeps these on hand.

what is it about that kosher salt??? salt is just NaCl right???

I am going to do one of these this weekend! Better get to HEB before they sell out.

Yeah Mang. I'll be makin that shit fo sure. cheers.

Butcher paper is the trendy thing nowadays but for me I'm sticking with the heavy duty foil.

Trying this out in a few

Where did you get that hat man!!!!! I need one. Also ive been trying to find a smoking recipe to do my pork belly... i think i found one... Simple.. Texas Boy to Texas Boy!! Thanks!

Doin this tonight for sure!!!

What do you consider "Central Texas Style"? I am from Central Texas and never have I had Pork Belly that looked that delicious in all of my 42 years here. Going to have to try some of your recipe this weekend

Now that’s the way to make a SAMICH. Nice that your Nephew got on camera, my family isn’t as willing. I loved the simplicity of the rub as well

If you should hear something coming from your kitchen please don't hurt me I'm just there making myself a late night snack

Looks so good! Omg, question what do you recommend as far as timing? And temp? I'm planning on smoking mine this weekend standard guideline seems to be 1.5hr per lb

The funeral home just got richer! lol

Any reason why you put the lit coals in the slow n sear rather than putting all unlit in there? I noticed you did all unlit coals your brisket

How do u get that bark. I struggle to get the bark. Do u smoke it for longer time or something. Pls help me out here.

James you inspired me to wrap a small 4lb Boston butt this afternoon.

Thorndale Meat Market has the best Central TX pork belly in the Country!! You have to check it out!!

Is pork belly what they use to make chicharrones/cracklins with??

Hi do you remove the skin of the pork belly and just leave some fat? Or the skin should still be there ? Thank you

Looks amazing! Just discovered my next cook. Also, are you using a cafeteria tray as a cutting board? I might have to use that idea too

Very Nice my man!! Let’s Go BRANDON!!!!!!!!!

How long does the cook take?

What black pepper do you use?? Make a brisket video now with BP and Dino Ribs with BP

You Never fail to make me hungry

¡Salud, buen provecho! That looks real good James. So your nephew is from Texas and named J.R., huh? He needs an off white Stetson, and don’t let Sue Ellen shoot him!

Thanks James. How long did it need in the paper? Thanks!

Oh yeah! I have two pork bellies in the freezer.

Dam that pork belly looked good

What was the cook time and temp?

Damn that’s Cheap for pork belly!!

Love that pork belly anyway gona give it a try

YUM!!! Awesome job honey. 🔥🙌🏻 🤧 lol 😂 Why does watching you trim the silver lining/fat satisfy me lol hahaha 😂 Ok. Anyhoo. Great video and looked delicious! Like juicy and sooo drool 🤤 worthy. Yum 😋 Thx for sharing and educating us non Texans. Lol 😝😘
