I had a craving for Pork belly after reading a few post on the subject and just happened to have a small one from the Asian market in the freezer.
Light EVOO coating on skin side and generous coating of Oakridge Sweet Rib rub and Habanero Death Dust combo with a little extra garlic powder
On the Weber indirect shooting for 275° but it just wanted to run at 325° so I did not argue.

After a couple hours it was time to jump into a foil pan with a Founders Imperial Stout. Great beer for both Belly’s involved.

Cover with foil and back on the heat for another hour or so.

Made some jalapeno poppers for an appetizer snack and saved a few for the belly.

The Belly turned out great. Nice bark, tender as could be and a nice hint of the Imperial stout flavors.

Light butter on the buns and on the grill to give a toasty flavor and firm base.

The rest of the Fixins. Smoked Pepper Jack Cheese, sliced dill pickle, Crispy jalapenos, Mayo and Mustard.

These Crispy jalapenos are so good – I eat as a snack, add to salad, pizza, and almost any food item.

Start with Mustard and Mayo

Then a layer of Smoked Pepper jack and a generous portion of the Pork Belly

Then a couple jalapeno Poppers

And another layer of Smoked Pepper Jack and the pickles

I wanted the cheese all melted and gooey so I broke out the propane torch and melted the top layer of Cheese until it melted over the poppers and Belly, then added to pickles so I could top with the Crispy jalapenos!

Topped with the bun, added a smash and ready to eat!

The melted cheese lifted well and was able to push up on the side. Once I picked this thing up, there was no setting it down until this Pork Belly Sammich was in my belly!
