I know enough to not eat that stuff anymore and I'm only 44.

Hey
I have done this in the past. The recipe I had ,I left the skin on until after the smoke. Your way .aes more sense.
I was using a local meat market's cure but also made my own. If I remember correctly it called for pink curing salt.
I have the book at home. It's title is "Charcuterie. Eric

That's the word your looking for in a book,

Taking the skin off lets the cure and the smoke penetrate the fat layer. Which is the most important part, the meat can only absorb on the surface, the fat takes it all.

Near my Athens home, in McMinn County, Tennessee, I am spoiled. I have the superb Benton's Bacon locally made in nearby Madisonville, Tennessee in Monroe County. It is nationally and even internationally famous.

I like Nueske's. It's pretty good. Flavor is a bit too strong for the kids though.
