Ingredients

  • 1 pound sliced bacon thick cut

Instructions

  • Preheat your electric smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit according to your manufacturer's directions. Spray non stick spray on the grates.
  • Place bacon directly on the grates. Let cook on pellet grill for 30 minutes or until bacon is done to your preference.
  • Please watch bacon carefully towards the end of the cooking time as it goes from done to overdone quickly. Remember as the bacon cools (for about 1-2 minutes) it will firm up so don't over cook it!
  • Remove from smoker and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off grease. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The length of time that it will take to smoke your bacon will vary depending on the thickness of you bacon slices and how you like your bacon done so watch it closely!
  • We typically never have an issue with bacon sticking to the grates, but if you do just oil the grates with olive oil before smoking the bacon slices.
