pork belly

Did you use an offset firebox cooker to smoke it? Reason I ask is because I have 25 lbs in cure solution that I will have to smoke in 5 days. I have a big walk in smoke house but I really don't want to fire it up for just 25 lbs. Normally I smoke cured bellies in the walk in for 6 hours at 100* to 120*. I'm wondering if I can do it in my offset cooker using a lower temp.
 
You could burn the woodchips or chunks in a soup can with the bottom partially cut out for ash and airflow. That way you can place it on the other side of the grill, produce zero heat, and get smoke. It worked for me!
 
pork belly is awesome. Ate it roasted for Easter, made a chinese pork belly, then finished it off with the best damn bacon i'd ever had.
 
A fave of mine too, so much you can do with it.
Here I BBQed it on a shallot trivet, unctious!
