What pellets should you use for Traeger smoked bacon?

To give your bacon great smoked flavor, I suggest using applewood, hickory, or cherry pellets. These will impart even more deliciousness into the bacon as it cooks.

How do you cook thicker-cut bacon?

If you're using thick-cut bacon, you will need to flip the bacon halfway through the cook time to ensure they are completely cooked. Keep them on until your Traeger smoked bacon reaches the crispness that you prefer.
