Title: Smoked Bacon!
Post by: Davescprktl on September 21, 2016, 10:50:11 AM
Bacon is natures perfect food.  Especially when you smoke it.  This is always fun and rewarding.  I have a very simple set up that works every time.  It is easy to keep the temp at 250 for a nice low and slow smoke using apple wood chunks.  Cooking time is about one to two hours.  I used thick cut bacon.  I use the same set up for bacon wrapped jalapenos (aka turds).

I used one charcoal basket and then line the rest of the charcoal grate with foil

I lay out the bacon in strips of two.  I will separate them as they cook.

In the course of one to two hours I will flip them.  Bacon almost done.

Might try this sometime. Would it be easier to put a drip pan down instead of foil? Save the bacon grease for breakfast? I usually have a jar in the fridge at all times.
