Hey there grill enthusiasts! If you’ve got a Green Mountain Grill sittin’ in your backyard and a hankerin’ for some downright heavenly bacon, you’re in the right spot. I’m gonna walk ya through the art of cookin’ bacon on this pellet smoker turnin’ an everyday breakfast staple into a smoky, crispy masterpiece that’ll have your neighbors peekin’ over the fence. We’re talkin’ bout that irresistible aroma, that perfect crunch, and a flavor punch that’ll knock your socks off. So, fire up that grill, grab a pack of bacon, and let’s get to sizzlin’!
Why Cook Bacon on a Green Mountain Grill?
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s chat about why usin’ a Green Mountain Grill for bacon is a game-changer. I’ve cooked bacon every which way—stovetop, oven, you name it—but nothin’ beats the magic of a pellet grill. Here’s why I’m obsessed
- Smoky Flavor That’s Unmatched: The wood pellets in a Green Mountain Grill infuse your bacon with a smoky depth you just can’t fake with a frying pan. It’s like givin’ your taste buds a big ol’ hug.
- No Messy Kitchen: Fryin’ bacon indoors means grease splatters everywhere and a stove that looks like a war zone. On the grill, the mess stays outside where it belongs.
- Say Goodbye to Lingering Smells: Ever fried bacon and had your house smell like a diner for two days straight? Cookin’ it outdoors lets the breeze take care of that greasy aroma.
- Even Cookin’ Every Time: The indirect heat on a pellet grill cooks your bacon nice and even—no burnt edges or raw spots.
- Big Batches Made Easy: Got a crowd to feed? The grill grates got room for plenty of strips, so you can whip up a feast without breakin’ a sweat.
- It’s Just Plain Fun: Let’s be real—firin’ up the grill for breakfast feels like a mini adventure. It’s a heckuva way to start the day!
Now that you’re sold on this method, let’s get down to business and cook some bacon that’ll make your mouth water.
Step-by-Step Guide: Cookin’ Bacon on Your Green Mountain Grill
Alright, let’s break this down into simple steps. I’ve been grillin’ bacon on my Green Mountain for years, and this method’s been polished to perfection. Whether you like your bacon chewy or crispy as heck, I gotcha covered. Grab your apron (or don’t, I ain’t judgin’), and follow along.
1. Pick the Right Bacon
First things first, don’t skimp on quality. Go for thick-cut bacon—trust me, it holds up better on the grill and gives you that meaty bite. I usually snag mine from a local butcher, but a good store-bought pack works too. Keep it cold straight outta the fridge; it cooks more even and soaks up that smoky goodness better.
2. Set Up Your Green Mountain Grill
Gettin’ your grill ready is key. Here’s how I do it:
- Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Green Mountain Grill to about 350°F. This temp’s a sweet spot for most bacon, but we’ll talk tweaks later if you want it chewier or crispier.
- Pick Your Pellets: Use fruit wood pellets like apple or cherry for a mild, sweet smoke that pairs awesome with bacon. If you’re feelin’ bold, hickory gives a stronger kick. I sometimes mix ‘em for a wild combo.
- Go Indirect: You don’t want flames kissin’ your bacon directly. Set it up so the heat’s indirect—bank the heat to one side if needed.
- Use a Drip Pan: Lay a foil pan or line a tray under the grates where the bacon’ll sit. Grease drips are real, and this keeps cleanup from bein’ a nightmare.
3. Prep the Bacon for Grillin’
Take that cold bacon and lay it out nice. I use a wire cooling rack over a foil-lined baking sheet—it lets air flow around the strips and catches drips. Arrange the bacon in a single layer, no overlappin’, or you’ll get uneven cookin’. If you’re feelin’ fancy, brush on some maple syrup or sprinkle a bit of brown sugar for a sweet twist. Me? I usually keep it plain and let the smoke do the talkin’.
4. Get That Bacon on the Grill
Once your grill’s hot and smokin’, place the rack with bacon on the grates. Close the lid and let the magic happen. At 350°F, it usually takes 30-45 minutes, dependin’ on thickness and how crispy you like it. Don’t be peekin’ every five seconds—keepin’ the lid down holds the heat and smoke in.
5. Flip for Even Sizzlin’
About halfway through, flip them strips. I use tongs and try not to burn my dang fingers (learned that the hard way). Flippin’ makes sure both sides get that golden-brown love and smoky flavor all over.
6. Check for Doneness
Keep an eye on it near the end. You’re lookin’ for shriveled-up strips with crispy edges if you like ‘em crunchy. If you’re more a chewy bacon fan, pull ‘em a tad sooner. Time varies, so don’t just set a timer and walk away—watch it like a hawk.
7. Drain and Dig In
Once it’s done, pull the bacon off and let it drain on some paper towels. This soaks up extra grease so it ain’t a sloppy mess. Let it rest a minute or two for the juices to settle, then dig in. First bite’s gonna be a straight-up revelation, I promise ya.
Temperature and Time Guide for Bacon Perfection
Not all bacon’s the same, and not everyone likes it cooked the same way. Here’s a lil’ table I whipped up based on my grillin’ trials. Use it as a guide to match your vibe:
| Desired Texture | Grill Temperature | Cooking Time | Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chewy | 225-250°F | 1.5-2 hours | Low and slow for max smoke flavor. |
| Balanced | 350°F | 30-45 minutes | My go-to for most bacon types. |
| Super Crispy | 400°F | 20-30 minutes | Watch close, it crisps up fast! |
Adjust based on how thick your bacon is—thinner stuff cooks quicker, so don’t let it turn to charcoal.
Tips and Tricks for Next-Level Bacon
I’ve messed up enough batches to learn a thing or two, so here’s some hard-earned wisdom to make your bacon game unstoppable:
- Don’t Crowd the Grill: Give them strips some breathin’ room. Pilin’ ‘em on top of each other means soggy spots and uneven cookin’.
- Keep That Temp Steady: Green Mountain Grills are pretty good at holdin’ temp, but check it now and then. Too hot and you’ll burn it; too low and it’s a rubbery mess.
- Avoid Over-Peekin’: I know it’s temptin’ to check every minute, but liftin’ the lid lets out heat and smoke. Be patient, dang it!
- Thick-Cut is King: I said it before, but I’ll say it again—thin bacon can turn to ash quick. Thick slices handle the grill better.
- Freeze Extras: Cook a big batch and freeze what ya don’t eat. Pop ‘em in the microwave for a quick breakfast win later.
- Experiment with Glazes: Near the end, brush on some BBQ sauce or honey for a sticky, sweet kick. It’s a game-changer for sure.
Playin’ with Flavors: Wood and Seasonin’ Options
One of the best parts of usin’ a Green Mountain Grill is messin’ around with flavors. The pellets you choose and the extras you add can turn basic bacon into somethin’ wild. Here’s what I’ve played with:
- Applewood Pellets: Sweet and mild, it’s my fave for bacon. Feels like a cozy mornin’ in every bite.
- Hickory Pellets: Got more punch, a bit nutty. Great if you want that bold BBQ vibe.
- Cherry Pellets: Another fruity option, adds a subtle tartness that’s real nice.
- Seasonin’ Ideas: Sprinkle on black pepper, paprika, or a sweet rub before grillin’. I’ve even tossed on sliced jalapeños for spicy candied bacon—holy smokes, it’s good!
- Sweet Touches: Brush with maple syrup or pat on brown sugar halfway through. It caramelizes into pure bliss.
Mix and match till you find your jam. Half the fun is seein’ what crazy combo you can dream up.
Servin’ Up Your Smoked Bacon: Ideas Galore
Now that you’ve got a pile of smoky, crispy bacon, what’s next? Sure, you can just scarf it down plain (no shame in that), but I got some ideas to make it shine even more. Here’s how I love usin’ mine:
- Classic Breakfast Spread: Pair it with fluffy scrambled eggs, buttery toast, and a strong cup of joe. It’s the breakfast of champs, hands down.
- BLT Upgrade: Stack a sandwich with bacon, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomato. The smoky twist makes it next-level.
- Burger Topper: Slap a couple strips on a juicy burger with some melty cheddar. You’ll never settle for fast food again.
- Breakfast Tacos: Dice it up, toss it in a tortilla with eggs, cheese, and taters. Breakfast on the go never tasted so fine.
- Salad Crunch: Crumble it over a fresh salad for a smoky, salty bite. Works killer on a Caesar.
- Bacon Hash: Sauté bits with potatoes, peppers, and onions for a hearty side or main dish.
- Waffle Sidekick: Drizzle some syrup over your bacon and serve with waffles or pancakes. Sweet and savory heaven right there.
- Bacon-Wrapped Goodies: Wrap it around scallops, jalapeño poppers, or even asparagus. Grill ‘em up for a fancy snack.
- Pasta Power: Toss crispy bits into a carbonara with eggs and parmesan. It’s comfort food with a smoky edge.
- Bean Booster: Mix chopped bacon into baked beans for a sweet, smoky side that steals the show.
The options are endless, y’all. I swear, once you start smokin’ bacon, you’ll be puttin’ it in everything.
A Lil’ Story from My Grill Days
Lemme tell ya bout the first time I tried smokin’ bacon on my Green Mountain Grill. I was cocky, thinkin’ I’d nail it without readin’ up or nothin’. Set the temp too high, crowded the grates like a rookie, and forgot to flip ‘em. Ended up with half-burnt, half-soggy strips that tasted like regret. My dog wouldn’t even touch ‘em! But man, the smell still had the neighbor’s kid sniffin’ around, askin’ what I was cookin’. Took a few tries to get it right, but now? I’m the bacon king of the block. Folks smell that smoke and start invitin’ themselves over. Lesson learned—take your time, follow the steps, and don’t be a hotshot.
Why This Method Beats All Others
I’ve tried every way to cook bacon, and I’m tellin’ ya, the Green Mountain Grill way is the best. Stovetop fryin’ leaves grease everywhere and a smell that won’t quit. Oven bacon’s okay, but it’s missin’ that smoky soul. Microwave? Don’t even get me started—that’s a crime against food. With a pellet grill, you get flavor, ease, and a fun outdoor vibe all rolled into one. Plus, you can cook enough for a small army without battlin’ a tiny pan. It’s just better, plain and simple.
Keepin’ It Safe and Clean
Quick word on safety, ‘cause I don’t want y’all burnin’ your fingers like I did once or twice. Bacon grease is hot and sneaky—use tongs, not your hands, when flippin’. Keep a drip pan or foil under to catch the fat, or you’ll have flare-ups messin’ with your grill. After cookin’, let the grill cool before cleanin’ up, and scrape off any stuck-on bits. A clean grill means better bacon next time, trust me.
What If Things Go Sideways?
Even with all my tips, stuff can still go wonky. If your bacon’s burnin’, drop the temp or move it further from the heat. Too chewy when you wanted crispy? Crank the heat a bit and give it a few more minutes. If it ain’t smoky enough, check your pellets—old or cheap ones don’t give good flavor. I’ve had my share of oopsies, but tweak a lil’ here and there, and you’ll get it dialed in.
Wrappin’ It Up with a Smoky Bow
So there ya have it, folks—everything I know about cookin’ bacon on a Green Mountain Grill. From settin’ up the grill to pickin’ the right pellets, layin’ out them strips, and servin’ up a feast, this method’s gonna change how you do breakfast forever. It’s easy once you get the hang of it, and the payoff is bacon so good, you’ll be dreamin’ bout it. I’ve shared my wins, my flops, and all the tricks I’ve picked up along the way, so you can skip the mess-ups and get straight to the good stuff.
Got a Green Mountain Grill? Grab some bacon and give this a whirl. Play with flavors, invite some pals over, and enjoy the ride. If you got questions or wanna share how it turned out, holler at me—I’m always down to talk grill. Now go make some sizzlin’ magic, and lemme know if it’s as life-changin’ for you as it was for me!

How to cook bacon on a pellet grill | BBQ DAD JODY
FAQ
What temperature do you cook bacon at on a pellet grill?
Cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and additional variables (like hot spots on your smoker, etc.). When smoking at 350 F. I find that the bacon takes about 40-45 minutes to get crispy enough that the fat has rendered but is still slightly chewy.
What’s the best temperature to cook bacon on a grill?
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 325 degrees Fahrenheit using one side of the grill burners.
- Brush cleaned grill grates with a light coating of oil.
- Place the bacon strips across the grates away from the direct heat source.
- Serve immediately or save for later.
Do you cook bacon at 400 or 425?
For oven-baked bacon, both 400°F and 425°F are common and effective temperatures.
Do you leave the grill open when cooking bacon?
You are doing it wrong. Don’t close the grill top, always leave it open when grilling bacon. don’t leave it, it only takes a min to cook. if you pay attention to what you are doing you wont set the grill on fire.
