For PITMASTER THURSDAYS this week, we had double trouble here at the store with both Rick Salmon of Smokin' Salmons and Tom Elder of Hunka Hunka Burnin' Rub. Rick made some delicious ribs with a sauce containing at least one interesting ingredient, while Tom smoked some tender pork belly.
Check out the recipes and cookie instructions for each below.
Then, check out the schedule of our upcoming Pitmaster Thursdays here.

Tom's Pork Belly Cooking Instructions

Throw the cubed meat back on the grill for about 10 - 15 more minutes to give it a nice sear.
