They are in the BGE. Fairly easy to put together with all of the fine help on this website/forum.  Thanks!

    They are ridiculously good. Too bad they have some many calories. I don't bother with the toothpicks or skewers, though.

    Indirect heat and they are not browning. I cranked it up to almost 400 F now. Can I add some BBQ sauce to get some color?

    I wouldn't, just be patient. When I make mine, I smoke them at 250 for about 2 hours.

    Thanks. I ran out there and turned them down. I thought that someone said there was a one hour cooking time. Thanks for your tip.

    There's multiple ways to get a good result - this just works best for me. The bacon gets nice and smoky. It does take some time to get that "done" color though.

    @Boileregger has it-doesn't matter the time or cook temp-the key is when the bacon is done and that's a visual call.  Raised direct at around 350*F and you can eggspect around 45 Mins. Indirect at 350*F about 60 mins-but just a guide.  FWIW-
