I used Kenji López-Alt’s recipe, but did it in my BGE and smoked it a bit. Here’s the final product:

When I do this again, I would make two adjustments. One is that I’ll cook it to an internal temp of 175F to make it more tender (Kenji’s recipe called for 165 which I feel is too low). The other adjustment l’ll make is to crisp/puff up the skin a different way. It was too difficult to crisp evenly using the rotisserie, so next time I may pour hot oil over it or take a Searzall to it instead.

    I would just mention that I don’t have plans for dinner tonight yet and I am available.

    That looks delicious and finding a butcher that can get me the right cut for a porchetta has been an off and on quest of mine for quite some time.

      I go to the butcher’s counter at our local farmers market. If you have anything like that (a butcher and/or a farmers market) I would check there.

    GOOD LORD that pork belly is so shiny and juicy looks like a glass-blown masterpiece. And the second photo I can imagine the crackling sensation on my teeth and ears as I bite into it. 🤤

    My grandma used to take the skin off, put tooth picks in the pork, and bake it with the skin draped over the tooth picks. Got it real nice and crispy!
