Smoking Bacon on a Pit Boss Pellet Grill

Smoking bacon on a Pit Boss Pellet Grill can be a rewarding and delicious experience. The smoky flavor and juicy texture that the grill imparts to the bacon make it a favorite among food enthusiasts. If you’re new to smoking bacon or using a Pit Boss Pellet Grill, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide to help you achieve mouthwatering results.

What You’ll Need

Before you get started, make sure you have the following:

• Slab of bacon
• Pit Boss Pellet Grill
• Wood pellets (hickory or applewood work well with bacon)
• Meat thermometer
• Aluminum foil
• Seasonings (optional)

Preparing the Bacon

Start by preparing the bacon. If the bacon is not already cured, you can do this at home or purchase pre-cured bacon from the store. If you like, you can season the bacon with your favorite spices or a dry rub for added flavor.

Setting Up the Pit Boss Pellet Grill

Next, it’s time to set up your Pit Boss Pellet Grill. Fill the hopper with your choice of wood pellets. Hickory or applewood are popular choices for smoking bacon due to their rich and complementary flavors. Preheat the grill to around 200-225°F (93-107°C) for low and slow smoking.

Smoking the Bacon

Once the grill is preheated, place the seasoned or cured bacon directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and let the bacon smoke for approximately 2-3 hours. It’s important to monitor the internal temperature of the bacon using a meat thermometer. The bacon is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Resting and Slicing

After the bacon reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bacon. Once rested, slice the bacon to your preferred thickness and enjoy!
