2 Tbsp. bacon salt
¼ cup paprika
2 Tbsp. mustard powder
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. cracked black pepper
¾ cup brown sugar

How to make it
Pre-heat barbecue or smoker to 135°C/275°F.
In a bowl, combine bacon salt, dry spices and ¼ cup brown sugar.
Cut the pork belly into 4cm cubes and generously coat with the spice rub.
Refrigerate for at least 30 mins, ideally overnight.
Place belly pieces in a foil BBQ tray and smoke or barbecue for 1 hr. Pour Mountain Dew into the foil tray, cover with foil and cook for a further 1½ hrs or until soft and tender.
Remove the foil lid and drain any more excess liquid, sprinkle the remaining brown sugar over the belly pieces and gently toss until thoroughly coated.
Return the tray to the smoker or barbecue and cook uncovered for 15-30 mins.
Mix Carolina Style BBQ sauce and raspberry chipotle BBQ sauce together and pour over the top, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with cornichons.
