Context — Aaron’s First Offerings
9The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. And he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
11But he burned up the flesh and the hide outside the camp.
12Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar. 13They brought him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.Cross References

Leviticus 9:11 Summary
[Leviticus 9:11 tells us that Moses burned the flesh and the hide of the sin offering outside the camp, which symbolized the removal of sin and the need for purification. This act reminds us of God's holiness and desire for purity, as seen in Leviticus 11:44-45. Just like the burning of the flesh and the hide, Jesus Christ provided the ultimate atonement for our sins, as stated in Romans 5:11, and we can trust in His provision. We can apply this concept to our daily lives by striving for holiness and purity, knowing that God is holy and desires us to be holy as well, as written in 1 Peter 1:16.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 9:11
And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar: No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 9:11
(11) And the flesh and the hide he burnt.—The flesh and the hide, which, were ordinarily the perquisite of the officiating priest (see Leviticus 6:26), were on this occasion to be burnt, because the priest was not permitted to partake of the sin offering which he offered for himself. (See Leviticus 4:35.)
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 9:11
8–11. The Sin-Offering is offered with the same ritual as in Leviticus 8:14-17. The blood is not brought into the holy place, but what is not burnt on the altar is consumed without the camp.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 9:11
11. Without the camp — Leviticus 4:12, note.
