Instructions

Cut pork belly into large cubes. Place cubes into a large zip top bag or container and cover with Jerk Marinade (*recipe below). Toss cubes in marinade to cover and refrigerate for 6 hours up to overnight.
Prepare Traeger pellet grill or other smoker for indirect cooking at 250 degrees using your favorite wood for smoke flavor.
Remove the pork belly cubes from the marinade and place on greased wire cooling racks. Use multiple racks if necessary. Place the racks on the Traeger Grill and smoke for 3 hours.
Transfer the pork belly cubes into a large aluminum food service pan, top with brown sugar and jerk sauce (*recipe below). Toss the cubes in the brown sugar/sauce mixture and cover the pan with aluminum foil.
Place the pan back on the pit and continue to cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. Remove the foil and cook for 1 additional hour uncovered to reduce and caramelize the sauce.
Carefully remove the pan from the pit once the sauce has thickened and the pork belly bites have a deep mahogany color. Serve immediately.
