I've started smoking my own bacon and buy pork belly but I'm not sure the best way to skin it . is there a good knife for this? I can get it off with alot of effort and I take off too much good fat. any help?

Leave the skin on. After smoking it will be called " The Rind " and is removed as you slice the bacon prior to frying.

After the bacon is consumed you can use strips of the "rind" for fish bait, dog chews, or a teether for baby.

Can't you also fry or render the rind to make "pork skins"? [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Hey! Aren't you supposed to be working?
Gary, While technically correct the result is likely to be a surprise to anyone who buys the light airy SUPERPROCESSED pork rinds as the likely result of DIY is something about as edible to a person as a leather boot. Of course, as a kid, I would chew on them anyway.
