I love bold, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly… and this one does not disappoint. It’s fatty and delicious and tastes like real pit-smoked pork belly.

• 5 lb pork belly, cut in half
• 2 tbsp Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• Killer Hogs Hot Rub (to taste)
• Killer Hogs TX Brisket Rub (to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Belly: Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels and cut it in half for more even cooking.
2. Apply the Binder: Coat each piece of pork belly with Killer Hogs Hot Sauce and yellow mustard to help the seasoning stick.
3. Season Generously: First, apply a good layer of Killer Hogs Hot Rub, then follow with a layer of Killer Hogs TX Rub for extra depth of flavor.
4. Preheat the Smoker: Set up your smoker for indirect heat and bring the temperature to 275-300°F.
5. Smoke the Pork Belly: Place the pork belly pieces on the smoker and cook for about 2 hours.
6. Prepare the Spritz: Mix 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup water in a spray bottle.
7. Spritz Regularly: After the first 30 minutes, begin spritzing the pork belly every 30 minutes to keep it moist and enhance the bark.
8. Check the Internal Temperature: Continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches 202-208°F.
9. Rest the Pork Belly: Remove the pork belly from the smoker and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes. For even better results, rest it in a dry cooler for an hour.
10. Slice and Serve: Slice the pork belly to your preferred thickness and enjoy!

A little sweet… a little savory… and a kick of spice. These Hot Honey ribs are not only beautiful, they are down-right delicious1

• 3 slabs St. Louis Spare Ribs
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub

For the Rib Wrap:

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 10oz apple juice
• 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce
• 3 sticks salted butter (split in half lengthwise)

For the Rib Glaze:

• 1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
• 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey

Instructions

1. Trim ribs and remove membrane. Apply light coat of hot sauce for a binder and season well with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
2. Prepare pit for smoking at 275°F using hickory wood for smoke flavor. I used my Outlaw stick burner pit but any smoker/indirect grilll will work just keep the temp steady at 275°F.
3. Place the ribs on the pit and smoke for 2 hours. Spritz with water if the outside starts to look dry after an hour in the smoke.
4. Make the rib wrap liquid – combine brown sugar, apple juice, hot honey, and vinegar sauce in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes and allow to cool at room temp.
5. To wrap the ribs remove each slab from the pit; use a double layer of aluminum foil; place the ribs meat side down on the foil, add 1/2 cup of wrap liquid to each slab; place 1 stick of the butter over the top; and close the foil around the ribs.
6. Place the ribs back on the pit and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Internal temp should be around 202-205°F.
7. Rest the ribs in a dry cooler for 1 hour before glazing.
8. To glaze: place each rack on a foil covered raised cooling rack meat side down; dust with a little Hot Rub and place back on the pit for 5 minutes; brush with The BBQ Sauce and cook for 7 additional minutes. Flip the ribs over and dust the meat side with Hot Rub and return to the pit for 5 minutes. Brush the meat side with The BBQ Sauce and drizzle with Hot Honey; blend the honey in with the bbq sauce and return to the pit for 7 additional minutes to set.
9. Cut the slabs into individual bone pieces and serve.
