Ingredients

  • 14 oz streaky bacon
  • 3 tbsp rub
  • 5 tbsp light brown sugar 1 teaspoon per strip

Instructions

  • Set up your smoker to be running at 365°F.
  • Using your knife trim away any excess dags of meat and rind from the bacon strips.
  • Evenly lay out the bacon on a wire rack.
  • Apply an even coating of your chosen rub to each strip.
  • Apply one teaspoon of light brown sugar evenly onto each bacon strip.
  • Once the pit is at 365°F place prepped bacon on the top rack.
  • After 10-15 minutes check to see if the meat is cooking evenly, rotate if needed.
  • Twenty minutes into the cook, you are looking for the bacon to be a mahogany color, have reduced in size, and is almost crisp to the touch, if so they are ready. If not, check in a few minutes.
  • Using heat proof gloves remove the rack and place onto a bench to cool down.
  • Once completely cooled they are ready for serving.
