Turn on electric smoker and bring up to 275 F. Once it is up to temp, add in apple chips, and allow to start to smoke.
Add the brown sugar to a small bowl. Add in the spices and mix with a fork till blended.
Place grids in the 4 quarter sheet pans and put 5 pieces of bacon on each grid.
Sprinkle the brown sugar spice blend over each slice, and gently rub to get the blend to stick.
Place the trays in the smoker. Set timer for 1.5 hours. Be sure to check and add addtional apple wood chips to smoker through out the process.
At 1.5 hours, pull the trays out, turn the bacon over using tongs, and season on the other side of the bacon. Return to smoker for another 1.5 hours.
Check bacon for doneness since smokers vary. Allow to cool.
Place bacon on a few sheets of paper towels to absorb the excess grease. I usually use 3 layers, and press another 3 layers on top.
At this point, you can place in mason jars for a snack, or bloody Mary, or wrap in foil to store in the fridge.
