Years ago I got some large jerky smoking racks at Gander Mountain. Fit a large aluminum sheet pan (don't know if they are called a quarter or half sheet) Lay the bacon on one of the racks sitting in the sheet pan, and cook like you said. You can cook about 3/4 lb at a time on them. Can line the pan with aluminum foil, also, but the clean up w/o the foil is no hassle for me.
