Bacon Question Guys!

[mwilliams7967]

I just got my hands on a 12 lb pork belly which is gonna eventually be maple cured bacon! Question is, should I leave the skin on when smoking, or remove it prior? Does leaving it on take away the smoke?

I think it does. So I remove mine prior to curing and smoking

I remove it also.

I did a side-by-side test one time and could not tell the diff between skin on or skin off.

If I don't have a use for the skin, I leave it on. The smoked skin is easier to remove, and it's great in beans.

Thanks for the input guys!! Gonna try half with it on, and the other half I'll cut it off!
