Ingredients

  • 12 slices Thick Cut Bacon
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and rub the smoker grill gates with oil to keep the bacon from sticking to the grates.
  • Load the smoker with apple, maple or hickory wood chips (whichever you prefer).
  • Place the slices of bacon directly on the grill grates in the smoker.  Smoke for 20-30 minutes until the bacon is cooked to the crispiness that you prefer.
  • Carefully remove the bacon from the grill.  Let it cool for a few minutes, then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to add chips to the smoker every 15 minutes if your smoker does not have an automatic feature.  
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
