Correct. The baking rack was just to get them on the smoker quickly without having to handle each one.

Thanks. Hopefully my Costco has these in stock. I've seen them there before but they tend to cycle out meats throughout the year

Op did you strive for an internal temp for the first round or just a flat 3 hours?

Never cooked pork belly and am curious if there's a sweet spot

Why fat down?

Ya'll best pork belly I've found is at Costco for $4/lb in about a 6lb pack.  It's already sliced about 3/4" wide.    You can get it at Asian markets but it always has that band-aid smell to it.

Because that's the way I've always done it. I get good bark and always have a good moist product. Big Green Eggs are known for moisture retention, needing no water pan at all. The whole argument with fat cap up/down, fat dripping down over the meat kepping it moist, has never been an argument worth getting into for me. I guess metal cookers struggle some with moisture and those guys have their own methods. I hope you wasn't hoping for some scientific explanation

Just curious. I'll be cooking mine on an egg too. Have always read fat up for the reasons you mentioned but doubt if you have each side by side you'd be able to tell a difference. 

I'm definitely doing this tomorrow. Bought a belly today at Costco

I just think the egg is superior at moisture retention. Everytime I've ever "spritzed" my cooks, I've always wished I hadn't.
I am a huge bark fan!

Because the idea of "fat dropping through the meat while cooking" is bogus. You want fat cap down to protect from the fire, and also, crispy melted fat cap is like meat candy

I'm assuming it was just enough to help dry the surface and caramelize when smoking, right?  Looks amazing.

The dogs love it too. The best part of taking a butt off the smoker is standing around and scraping the crispy fat off the grid and eating it. Usually when I'm doing it, the dogs are all looking like
