  Thoroughly coat all sides of the pork belly cubes with your choice of Meat Church Honey Hog, Honey Hog Hot or The Gospel Rub. I prefer a spicier rub because I finish these with a sweet sauce.

  Ingredients

  • 1 (5-7 lb) skinless pork belly, cut into 1 inch cubes

  • Meat Church Honey Hog, Honey Hog Hot or The Gospel Rub

  Allow the rub to adhere on all sides for at least 15 minutes. Place the pork belly in the Traeger fat-side down. I prefer to do this on a wire rack.

  • 1 Cup apple juice, for spritzing

  Pull the belly when the meat reaches an internal temperature of 190°F to 195°F. Some people pull the belly a lot earlier, but I want it really tender.

  Grill: 275 ˚F

  Probe: 190 ˚F
