The Optimistic Swines

Final result
Glazed in a home made honey soy recipe.
Turned out banging and none left
Few Tweeks for next time but pretty happy with the results



for the inspiration

Saw MaxTheMeatGuy do this on a YouTube shorts so thought I'd give it a hoon. We don't get the massive pork belly like they do in the states but sure it will be banging
Will post end result later

Reverse seared Tri tip for a nice fast cook today. Rubbed with jalapeno & sweet orange rub and finished of in the cast iron with a garlic compound butter till beautiful and medium.

A small wee piece of pork belly ready for some tacos tonight on the
Bronco.

Took the skin off and rubbed the belly down with umami garlic butter and pork rib rub. Cooked at 280 for 5 hours until meat jelly with coconut briquettes.

By far my favourite way to smash a belly out.

Just a small baby of a brisket 👅💦💥🤯

Catering for Independent Doors here in Christchurch done and dusted.

Had the bronco purring along beautifully all night long.

keeping the Broncos running.

Cooking up 4x Boston Butts overnight for some lucky Chch Hospital ED staff to tuck into tomorrow.
Will also be smoking up 13kg of some delicious saussies. Should keep the socially distanced masses happy.

Loving all the lockdown cooks for inspiration.
Hanging a rolled pork on the Oklahoma Joe's Smokers NZ bronco using Heat Beads BBQ lump 🤤❤🔥

Throwing down some Wakanui Beef cheeks on the Oklahoma Joe's Smokers NZ bronco. Over the course of the cook the bronco moved within 5 degrees of the target of 300 fahrenheit, what a beast.
The Four Saucemen black rub helped out with that bangin bark and awesome flavour as well as Heat Beads BBQ supplying the goods always.

So it turns out I’m not the best at preparing a healthy meal. At least the plate is greenish 😁
Besides the fact I may have run the Whitehart babybacks an ounce long, and may have used the dregs from three different sauce bottles to make a glaze, they were bloody decent for sure.
Added bonus, these take less than 4 hours to cook, so handy as when ya want some “fast food” 😜
