How to Cook Delicious, Crispy Bacon on a Pellet Grill
Bacon is the food of the Gods – every time you lay strips of bacon in the pan it brings everyone for miles running. Even vegetarians and vegans can’t resist the smell, and stare wistfully as you chow down. But what if I told you it could get even better?
By taking your bacon from the pan to the grill you not only reduce how much clean up you have to do, but it also increases the flavor. It’s quick, easy, and totally addictive. Here’s how to cook delicious and crispy bacon on the grill:

Use the Right Bacon
“Regular†thin-cut bacon won’t work if you’re planning to lay your bacon directly on the grates. However, if that’s all you’ve got you can use it, but know you’re going to need a grill plate or mat to prevent your bacon from becoming stuck to the grates.
If you can, get thick-cut bacon so it can sit directly on the grates. Canadian-style bacon works well, as do other thick-cut types of bacon such as English bacon (sometimes called Irish bacon or bacon rashers).
How to Cook Crispy Bacon on the Grill
This is super simple. All you need to do is:
- Set your grill to medium heat (about 325F)
- Prepare a plate with some paper towel to soak up excess moisture when the bacon is done, and place it on a surface near your grill
- When you reaches the right heat, lay your bacon slices across the grates
- Allow them to cook for 5-25 minutes with the lid closed*
- Move the cooked bacon to the plate to drain
- Serve!
Note that if your grill has a tendency to cook unevenly, flip your bacon at the 2-3 minute mark.
*There’s such a big disparity in time because it not only depends on your bacon’s thickness, but also how crispy you like it. If you like it cooked through but not crispy (as with English bacon), then about 5-10 minutes will be enough. However, if you love crunchy bacon, you may be able to keep it on the grill for up to 25 minutes.

If you’re using a pellet grill or a smoker tube to infuse your bacon with a little bit of smoky goodness, then simply go with your favorite pellet. We love Fruitwood, Apple, and Competition Blend, but you really can’t go wrong.

Do I Need a Pellet Grill to Grill Bacon?
No, you don’t need a pellet grill, but it will give you the best results. Pellet grills are experts at maintaining the right temperature and infuse your food with a little smokey goodness. You can achieve this with a smoke tube, but the results won’t be as good.

In the Arbas region of 105° east longitude and 40° north latitude where the temperature fluctuation between day and night can reach 50 degrees in winter, there is an essential native goat breed, the purebred Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat, which features thin and soft hair, a pair of horns and pink ears. Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat looks small yet are the nobles of goats.
The famous Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat, as a rare breed living in the Ordos Plateau of Inner Mongolia, is concentrated in Otog Banner, Otog Front Banner and Hanggin Banner in the western part of the Plateau. Sumu, Arbas, Otog Banner is the primary production area of Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat for its favorable natural environment, with Arbas Mountain in the west, vast natural pasture in the center and desert steppe in the south. The semi-arid steppe climate provides excellent conditions for animal husbandry.
Due to its location in the desert steppe, the area is dry and windy with little rainfall and much sand. The temperature difference between day and night is extremely high, and the annual average temperature is 6.4 °C. In the long, cold and dry winter, the lowest temperature reaches -30°C to -40°C late at night, while in the short, hot and arid summer, the highest temperature is 36.4°C and the lowest -32°C, with annual precipitation between 200mm to 400mm. The adorable, lovely and lively Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat grows in such extremely harsh conditions, thus can produce rare and quality cashmere.
Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat`s two coats are pure white. The top layer or outer coat is bright and coarse guard hair to protect the undercoat that is softer and finer down. The quality of the cashmere fleece is determined by three indicators: the diameter, length, and density of cashmere fibers. Due to its unique genes, Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat has a superiority that can never be duplicated. Its secondary hair follicle is smaller than those of other goats, and its cashmere has an average diameter between 13μm to 15 μm. It can even produce cashmere with a perfect diameter of 14.5μm, with a pure cashmere content of over 55%, which is unique worldwide. The preciousness of cashmere results from the small amount of production of each goat. Therefore, Inner Mongolian Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat was officially named by the People`s Government of Autonomous Region in 1988 and was listed on the National Register for the Conservation of Animal Genetic Resources as Class-1 protected breed by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2001.
