Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat Grill: Heat your smoker to 300F degrees with indirect heat. 
  • Make Glaze: Combine the brown sugar and hot sauce in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to thin in out. Stir well.
  • Brush: Place the bacon on a baking rack in a single layer. Brush the spicy honey mustard brown sugar on both sides of the bacon. 
  • Smoke: Place the rack in the smoker, and smoke for 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon. The bacon will still be pliable, but will harden as it cools.  
  • Cool: Remove from the grill and let it cool on the rack over a baking sheet.

Notes

If you can't find the spicy mustard hot sauce, you can use 1 1/2 tablespoons spicy mustard, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and a couple dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Do not cool the bacon on paper towels or they will stick.
