- Set your smoker to 300F
- Start off by patting your pork belly dry and adding Blazing Star Scorpion and then add OTF Brisket Rub.
- Place onto the smoker until they reach an internal temperature of 205. This will take anywhere from 2 ½ hours - 3 hours. Make sure to use a thermometer, like we always preach in class!!!
- After they hit 205 internal, pull them off and let them rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Once they’re rested, cut them into ¾ inch cubes.

- Fry until golden brown and enjoy!
