Scored a nice big slab of pork belly at the new Chef store in town and decided to do a porchetta.
Went ahead and did it in the oven with a bit of a cheat with smoked salt. Came out better than my previous versions.
Main difference was using all pork belly and butterflying the belly. My previous versions had used pork loin or tenderloin inside the pork belly.
