Preheat the pellet smoker for 350 degrees F. Keep the bacon cold in the fridge before smoking for best results.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack over the top.
Place the bacon slices in a single layer over the rack. Add BBQ dry up over top, flip and add to the other side if desired.
Smoke the bacon on the pellet grill for 40-45 minutes for rendered crispy bacon that still has a slight chewiness. Cook time may vary depending on the bacon used, hot spots on the grill, and your preference on texture.
Remove the bacon from the smoker and place on a paper towel lined plate. Remove excess grease and serve.

Flip the bacon halfway through if you opt to add brown sugar or maple syrup to the bacon so it cooks and carmelizes evenly.
