Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Lay out the thick-cut bacon strips on a large tray. Sprinkle both sides with brown sugar, black pepper, and sea salt. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 2

    Soak the Wood Chips

    While the bacon is marinating, soak the pecan wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help create smoke during the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Once at temperature, add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or directly on the coals.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Bacon

    Place the seasoned bacon strips on the smoker racks. Close the smoker lid and let the bacon smoke for about 2 to 3 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of smokiness and crispiness.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Once done, remove the bacon from the smoker and let it cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or use in your favorite dishes.
