That’s right, swapping out the rib with pork belly that starts in the Traeger pellet grill or smoker, and then seared and charred on the Blackstone flat top griddle.

How to make Blackstone Pork Belly McRib Sandwich

Season 8 slices of pork belly on all sides with your favorite BBQ seasoning blend.

Then place in your smoker or pellet grill set to 250 degrees for 3 hours, flipping halfway through.

Or place on a lined baking sheet in a 250 degree oven for 3 hours, flipping halfway through.

Just like this the pork belly is so tender and flavorful… but in my life I need a good sear with lots of char to make this dish complete.

So next stop is your Blackstone or flat top griddle.

Preheat your griddle to medium high.

Add cooking oil of choice and cook the pork belly slices 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.

Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 45 seconds.
