Soy Glazed Pork Belly Tacos

We tend to go out for tacos a lot here at the UFO BBQ. And when I’m given the option for pork belly, I almost always take it. Add in a soy sauce glaze and some yum yum sauce and this is one of my favorite meals for Taco Tuesday!

Smoke until the internal is over 200 degrees and the fat probes like butter!

Slowly add in water until you get to consistency you can drizzle with!
