Place the pork belly cubes in a large mixing bowl. Season them generously with BBQ rub. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Once the smoker is ready, arrange the seasoned pork belly cubes on the smoker rack, leaving some space between them for air circulation. Smoke the pork belly cubes for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they develop a mahogany color and an internal temperature of 160°F.
While the pork belly is smoking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the BBQ sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well. Let the glaze simmer for 5-7 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
Once the pork belly cubes are smoked, transfer them to a baking dish. Pour the prepared glaze over the pork belly cubes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
Return the pan to the smoker and continue cooking the pork belly cubes for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to thicken and caramelize further.
