Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a bowl, mix together the black pepper, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Rub this mixture all over the bacon slices.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Bacon

    Place the bacon on the smoker grates, making sure they are not overlapping. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or directly on the coals. Smoke the bacon for 2 to 3 hours until it reaches your desired level of smokiness.

  4. 4

    Cool and Cut

    Once the bacon is smoked, remove it from the smoker and let it cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice it into desired pieces.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Enjoy the smoked bacon as is, or use it in your favorite recipes!
