The first bacon we made was a bear to skin. The next time we left the skin on and it came off easily after smoking to 150 IT.
I may try some belly partially smoked, take the skin off, and continue with the cook for some pork candy!
Thanks for your info. Gives me some ideas for future belly cooks.

Taking the skin off is a real pain. My local Costco sells really nice belly without the skin. That is the only belly I buy now.

why not cube them to smoke instead of leaving in strips? wouldn't the larger exposed surface area give more bark/burnt on the product?
Never done these before, but may this weekend.

I have done it this way. Love these things! Always a crowd-pleaser.

I thought about that, but I thought they might dry out a little more. This is the first time I've cut it into strips instead of smoking the whole slab.

You can use a sharp knife and rubber gloves (for gripping) and remove it. It takes patience, but it can be done.
Or.....you can cure the skin by poking a pantsload of holes in it, and brushing it with a mix of salt and vinegar.
Here is the video showing you how.

That skin, when placed on a grill will crisp up.
You nailed it Sir. Looks Great!
