Ingredients

1/2 slab Pork belly
16 strips Thick cut bacon
4 tbsp Sweet BBQ rub
4 tbsp All purpose rub
2 cups BBQ sauce

Instructions

Slice the pork belly into 1 inch wide strips. You should get 8 or more strips.
Insert a wooden skewer into the pork belly strip. Season all sides with a sweet bbq rub.
Wrap the pork belly skewer with bacon. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place. Season the outside with an all purpose rub.
Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees.
Place the pork belly lollipops directly on the grates. Smoke them until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees.
Pour BBQ sauce into a sauce pan and simmer over low heat until it starts to boil. Remove it and pour it into a deep enough cup to fit the entire smoked pork belly lollipop.
Remove the smoked pork belly lollipops from the smoker, dunk each skewer into the warm BBQ sauce. Let it rest for 5 minutes and cool down. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to use thick cut bacon. This will prevent the bacon from burning during the long smoking process.

Heating up the BBQ sauce loosens it up making it perfect for glazing or dunking.
