    pork belly with the skin

    The intent is not to turn it into bacon but to cook it similarly to a roast. I guess what I'm trying to find out is if the skin is ruined by the smoker being at a lower temp than tastily crisped up like in the oven.

    pork belly with the skin

    Has anyone tried smoking a pork belly with the skin still on it? I have a few oven roasting recipes where the belly is left with the skin still on but how would it do in the smoker? What would I need to think differently about or do differently?

    First down flow build Has been started

    A plasma arc may be affected by magnets but it would take the type of electro - magnet you would find at a scrap yard picking up cars. Plasma is electricly charged ionized gas forced through a small orifice. And since gasses are not magnetic it would take a significantly large magnet to affect...

    ¼ and ⅜ rolled stainless...big difference?

    But you won't lose cooking area. Your wall thickness just changes. If you are ordering a rolled plate you tell them the diameter and length of the rolled barrel when finished. That being said I'd stick to 1/4" no matter if you go stainless or mild steel. I'd get a quote on it before you order it...

    ¼ and ⅜ rolled stainless...big difference?

    How do you figure you will loose cooking space? Stainless sheet in that heavy gauge will be quite pricey. Can you elaborate a little more on your idea?

    Smoked pork bellies

    I have braised it before and even deep fried it. You can roast it brine and smoke it (bacon) among many other preps for it. Good luck post some pics.

    Smoked pork bellies

    Lots can be done with a pork belly. It is an actual meat cut just like any other. You will need to order one from your local meat shop or grocery store as an unsmoked belly. If you want the skin on you will need to request that as well. It can be used in many ways outside of bacon but it is...

    NEED A NEW WELDER

    The Lincoln 180s are quite well built as well. Be mindful of your duty cycle and you won't run into issues. Miller may claim to have a higher amperage but what is the duty cycle 20-30% while Lincolns 180 may run 180 amps at 50-60%. Just sayin.... I would also ask somebody who works on welders...
