Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips out on a cutting board. If desired, cut them in half for smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Soak the Wood Chips

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

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bacon from the grill and let it drain on paper towels. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
