Did a slab of Pork belly this week, and it went well.

Not sure on the weight and size, I just got a slab from the butcher in Tesco (about £8 worth which was more than enough with the other foods I prepared).

It spent a total of about 4.5 hours on the kettle at an average temp of around 250f, I then removed the grill, fired up extra coals and got the dome temp to about 250c with coals banked either side, I gave it a blast of 20 mins (too long, 10 - 15 mins would have done the job) skin down over the coals while I cooked some chicken and sausage. It came out very moist and tender with a crisp caramelised skin

Overall it came out very well, should I do this again I would cook it over them same amount of time but with a higher temp of about 275f and blast it direct over coals for 10 mins. I added not BBQ sauce all I added was a home made rub on the meat side about 4 hours before cooking, the rub was (all 1/4 tsp)

1 part ground black pepper
1 part mustard powder
2 part smoke paprika
1 part garlic granules
1 part cayenne chilli pepper
1 part cumin
