First time making them last night with dinner, and based on my fiancée’s reaction, will definitely not be the last. Next time, I need to make sure the sauce is better distributed and take them a bit further in the last part of the cook for some more crispiness, but definitely a huge success! Just did them at 250F for 3 hours on the grates, then put them in the baking tin with 5 tbsp butter and a cup of bbq sauce covered for another 90 minutes, then uncovered for 15 more. And this was actually half of the slab of belly I got, other half is in the fridge curing to make bacon in about a week!
