Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt over the bacon strips, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Soak the Wood Chips
Soak the pecan wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.

Grill the Bacon
Place the soaked wood chips in a smoker box or wrap them in foil. Place the bacon on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and has absorbed the smoky flavor.
