Put aside about one-quarter from the sauce for serving.
Take away the pork belly in the refrigerator about half an hour before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium, then get ready for indirect heat: For gas, switch off the burners somewhere.

Slowly move the pork towards the hotter side from the grill (direct heat) and prepare, turning and brushing with increased sauce, until glazed and gently charred, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to some cutting board and let rest twenty minutes. Slice the pork belly and serve using the cornbread and reserved sauce.
