Pork is so difficult to do in the oven as it makes my apartment look like my flatmates are Cheech & Chong, and I’ve already had the building evacuated once before so I’m keen to find a way to enjoy pork belleh without having the local fire brigade crash my party.
I’m yet to find anyone else do pork belly on a regular BBQ grill plate, every method I’ve found via the Google has been for either ovens or Weber-like contraptions, so I thought screw it, I’ll give it a shot.
