3. Combine the brown sugar and Killer Hogs’ The BBQ Rub in a small bowl. Place the cubes of bacon in a large bowl and season with the sugar mixture. Toss to coal even.
4. Lightly coat raised cooling rack with canola cooking spray and place bacon burnt end pieces on the rack. Use multiple racks if necessary
5. Place the racks on the smoker and cook for 1 hour. Flip each burnt end piece over and continue to cook for 1 additional hour.

7. Place the pan back on the smoker and glaze for 20-30 minutes. Remove the pan from the smoker and allow too cool slightly before serving.
