Ingredients

  • 1 Pork Belly
  • 2 Tbsp Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

  3. Mix paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, and thyme to make the seasoning. Rub the seasoning all over all sides of the pork belly.

  9. Cover with foil and place back in the smoker.
  10. Smoke for an additional hour. Remove foil and stir the pork belly cubes in the sauce.
  11. Continue to smoke until the cubes caramelize and reach an internal temperature of 195-205°F (91-99°C).  Stir a couple more times during this final smoke.
  12. Serve.
