First time smoking a Pork Belly. As you can plainly see it's a Double so I'm good to go on this website.  Smoked 7 hours on Hickory, 10 spice dry run.  Double thick sliced.

That's the location of some of the finest tasting meat on a pig. For nearly twenty years I would cook a whole hog on a huge cooker for a homecoming celebration, over oak coals. The head would be removed and the backbone split so the whole carcass could lay flat like a butterfly. Takes 5-6 hours of slow cooking to do this. It was served on the cooker and guests would bring a plate and cut off what they wanted. It is called in the South a "Pig Pickin". The belly meat and the ribs would be the first parts to go.
Yours looks great, Bob.

"Pork bellies-- I knew it" Where does the term "High on the hog" come from- wouldn't the belly be"Low on the hog"?? RWTF

Only in Kali'forni'kation can they get excited over a slab of bacon....
Most people from the south know the best hog meat is from the jowls.

Never done it either, Bob. Curious, was that a single belly that you split, or two separate cuts of pork?
Steak and shrimp on the grille tonight. Momma is painting the boy’s bedroom, want to do something nice for her.
Best,
Ted

Not hog jowl, but, not bad:  Momma put down her paint brush, and had a plate of chow with me. Best, Ted
