Why should you never put bacon directly on the grill?
Bacon is inherently double bands of fat, which makes such a greasy food after itsbeen cooked to a crisp. If you have cooked the bacon in a skillet, you know exactly how much fat a pound of delicious food can produce. (By the way, this fat should never bepoured drain.) On a grill, there is only one place for fat to go down - and it can literally feed the fire in your grill.
"The bacon always emit fat when cooking and fat can be very flammable," said Carothers. "Therefore, it is not safe to place the bacon directly on the grates of a grid due to fire fat drop."
