Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 smoker
- 1 grill grate
Ingredients
- 4-10 slices bacon from the butcher is best vs. packaged bacon
- 1 pinch pepper only if you want it peppered, add at beginning
Instructions
- Add pellets or chips into your smoker. We used a pellet grill and smoker with apple pellets.
- Preheat your smoker to 150 degrees, then move to 350 degrees and place bacon on cast iron grill plate, cast iron pan, or directly on your grate. (directly on your grate will make for a very messy cleanup). Do not overlap slices.
- Close your lid and allow to cook for approx. 30 minutes and then check to see how much crispier you'd like it. Add more time for more well done bacon. Remove from pan and enjoy immediately.
- Timing will vary greatly depending on how thick your slices are and if you have a brown sugar coating or not.
