Locally SourcedPork Belly Ribs contain the spare ribs and the pork belly, simply put, pork belly ribs are spare ribs with the pork belly still attached.
Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare your grill for indirect heat and set the temperature to around 250°.
- Rub olive oil or mustard on your pork belly ribs to help the rub stick to the meat.
- Pour your favorite bbq rub generously on all sides of the meat. Do not rub the rub into the meat, instead pat the rub into it for better adhesion.
- Add a few wood chunks or a large handful of chips to your fire. (We used apple wood; fruit woods are great for pork but you can also use oak, pecan or even hickory if you like a stronger smoker) Chunks will give you more smoke flavor, make sure to wait for the clean blue smoke! Check out our smoking guide for more help.
- Place the meat on the smoker and cook until internal temperature is around 150-160°
- Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of around 160°, take off the smoker and wrap them with aluminum foil. Then return to the smoker until probe tender or until internal temperature reaches 175-200°. If you’d like more of a bite on your ribs, cook until around 175°, if you like more fall off the bone cook until 190-200°. (Wrapping is not completely necessary, but I feel it helps not only cook it a little quicker but it helps it hold in more moisture and makes the meat that much more tender.)
- Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of around 175-200°, take off the smoker. At this point, they are good to eat! But If you like a little more char on your ribs like me, either crank up the heat on the smoker or turn your grill on high. Then place your ribs on the grill until you get a nice char on them, just a few minutes per side. If you like to add bbq sauce to your ribs, this would be the time to do it. Slather it on the ribs while on the grill and let it caramelize for a few minutes per side.
- Remove from the grill, let rest for a couple of minutes, and then dive in! Feel free to add a little bit of seasoning or sauce if needed.
