Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Choose either brisket or pork belly, and trim any excess fat. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Apply Dry Rub

    In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Generously coat the meat cubes with the dry rub, ensuring they are evenly covered. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Smoking

  1. 3

    Smoke the Meat

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the seasoned meat cubes in the smoker and smoke for 3-4 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).

  2. 4

    Caramelize the Meat

    After smoking, remove the meat from the smoker and place it in a large aluminum pan. Pour the barbecue sauce over the meat, mixing well. Cover the pan with foil and return it to the smoker for an additional 1-2 hours to caramelize.

Assembling the Sliders

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the meat is caramelizing, slice the slider buns in half. If desired, toast them lightly on a grill or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sliders

    Place a generous portion of the smoked meat on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with coleslaw if desired and place the top half of the bun over the filling.
