Smoked Bacon on a Stick

[Blue Dog BBQ]

Hey everyone it has been a while I hope everyone is doing well. I recently cooked for the city council. After the meal they invited me to set up a booth at a charity event that will be showcasing local cooks and artist. So I'm working on some menu items. I have a few months to get ready so I'm working out the kinks now. I'm trying to find an edible skewer so I used slim Jims. They didn't work out like I wanted so I'll try something different tomorrow. Okay I wrapped bacon around the stick rolled in brown sugar then another wrap in bacon and a roll in Mad Hunky hot wang. I smoked with peach. I finished with a chocolate drizzle. Thanks for looking.

Personally, not a fan of Slim Jims, butt the bacon and MH is awesome!

Maybe try chicken/shrimp/beef/pork skewers, bacon wrapped and MH/BS?

Just thinking oot loud..... The small sweet peppers stuffed with cheese (cream cheese or other) bacon wrapper and MH/BS is always good. Not sure how they would hold up on a skewer though

Good Luck!

I gonna try celery tomorrow. I'll see how it holds up.

I left out an important part. This is a street food event. That's why I used slim Jim's. They want people to walk and eat.

Interesting concept. How well did the slim jim's hold up to the heat of cooking the bacon and brown sugar? Any "fat out" issues?

I'm wondering how this would work with some fresh snack sticks as the bacon will draw up as it cooks. Might have to finish it with a torch to get that final sear on the bacon and brown sugar without running the sticks at too high a temp, but this sounds to have some good potential for a new "next thing".

Hmmm..what about that ground meat jerky stuff? It’s pretty durable... interesting!

This was good but the slim Jim's went limp and if you go to long they become too hard to eat.

Yeah, not a big fan of Slim Jims here... And I kinda thought they would not hold up under the heat. How about bacon wrapped hot dogs or brats on a wooden skewer?

How about just putting the bacon on the stick and nothing else...

I'm thinking the first slice could get snaked or kinda weaved on the skewer and then the rest could get spiral wrapped around the first...
Might need to smoke the first piece a bit before wrapping the spiral pieces to get it done on the inside...

Hell I think I might try this someday soon I Love Bacon!

How about just thick Bacon on a stick?

Maybe 3/4" X 3/4" or 1" X 1", or 3/4" X whatever the thickness of the Belly was???

Put whatever seasonings or coatings you want on it.
