Notes
How do I store the Smoked Bacon?
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
How long should I smoke the bacon?
20-30 minutes is a rough idea. How long it will take to cook the bacon will depend on how crispy you prefer your bacon and how thick the bacon slices are.
What kind of wood should I use to smoke bacon?
We love to use hickory and apple to smoke our bacon, it lends a sweetness that pairs well with salty bacon, but honestly, you can use just about anything. It's bacon afterall!
