Soup co/ck/s.
I picked up 3 pounds of boneless pork belly from a butcher shop today. Never made one before. I planned on putting it on my charcoal grill tomorrow and then slicing it for sandwiches.
I was talking to my Moms on the phone and told her about my plan for tomorrow. She advised against it citing that the fat would drip from the belly and start a big grease fire potentially. Is she just old and worrisome?
Could I just wrap it in foil or something or put it on a baking pan? I was really looking forward to grilling this. Would it be better/safer in the oven?
Pork belly grilling tips needed.
Also, there's a layer of skin left on by the butcher. Should I cut this off before cooking?

Indirect heating motherfucker
Have your heat source on one side of the grill, and on the other side put a drip pan and cook the pork belly over it

I seen this method of turning a charcoal grill into a "smoker". The only problem is I don't own a divider. Any ideas on making a makeshift one?
>>
yea shes right, you probably dont want to grill pork belly, at least not when its raw, maybe to finish it
>>

Well I have 2 grates on my grill.
Could I put the charcoal in the bottom, put a great over it. Then put a some foil in the shape of a large barge, to catch the grease. And then put another grate and then the pork belly on top of that?

then thats not grilling, the heat would be indirect similar to an oven

Yeah it would definitely work and meme or not, a charcoal grill even indirect will always taste better than an oven.
Also, post pics of setup when it's ready to go.

Remove the fat. Or something.
Whats wrong with cooking it in the oven dude
>>
>>8167369
It should be cooked indirect, dude, unless you slice it really thin before grilling.

>pork belly
>remove the fat
You're doing it wrong.

So would my double grating idea with a tinfoil pan idea work for this, or should I try to fashion some nigger rig divider for coals and have the left side be direct heat and the right side be indirect? I've watched a few youtube videos on turning your charcoal grill into a smoker, but they all use sheets of metal crafted to fit perfectly in the spherical grill. What could I use laying around the house or I could pick up at a local shop and make?

OP here.
Does Leroy's setup look pretty good? Is it ok for the fat to drip back into the water pan? Could I use beer/juice like he's saying? What about adding woodchips for a "traditional smoke"?

Didn't realize bone in pork belly was actually a thing
>>
Just make a giant slab of bacon with it and cut half inch thick pieces. Bacon steak is the best meat.
>>
>>8167571
I didn't either until I asked the guy if he had any pork belly and he pulled it off the hook in the window and asked if I wanted bone or not..

>>8167389
Put coals on one side and the meat on the other
or make a barrier out of aluminium foil if you need to
