Prepare the Bacon
Lay the thick-cut bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt evenly over the bacon. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Soak the Wood Chips
While the bacon is resting, soak the pecan wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help create smoke when you place them on the grill.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 300°F or 150°C). If using a charcoal grill, place the soaked wood chips directly on the coals. For a gas grill, use a smoker box or wrap the chips in aluminum foil with holes poked in the top.
