It's Taco Time: First, preheat your Pit Boss grill to 225°F.
Next, score both sides of the beef belly and season with your homemade ginger homemade rub, being careful to cover all sides.
Then, place your seasoned beef belly directly on the middle grill rack of your Pit Boss, and smoke for 2 hours, turning the temperature up to 350°F for the last half hour.
Next, remove the belly from the grill, wrap in butcher paper, and turn down the heat to 250°F before smoking for another 1 1/2 hours, or until you reach an internal temperature of 190°F.
Pull the beef belly from the grill and let it rest overnight.
Once your beef belly has rested, chop it up and throw it on a griddle or griddle surface on medium heat until crispy.
Finally, place the crispy beef belly in a warm tortilla, and top with your homemade salsa and slaw.
Enjoy!
