Need help with curing bacon

[fish killer]

I have some rind on pork belly I want cure using tenderquick. Does the fact that it has the rind on change the amount of cure needed or should I go with the 1tbl spoon per pound recommendation?

It will not change the amount used. I would however take the rind off before I cured it. It will take smoke better and most people prefer it without the rind. Here is a link to making pork rind pellets with the skin. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/131872/pork-rind-pellets-from-scratch

Happy smoken.
