Ingredients
  

  • 32 Ritz crackers
  • 2 whole dill pickles sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 1 lb regular-cut bacon cut in half
  • BBQ seasoning or dry rub your favorite blend
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce

Instructions
 

  • Set your smoker to 225°F. Use apple or cherry wood for a sweet, mild flavor.

  • Place one pickle slice between two Ritz crackers. Wrap each with half a slice of bacon and place seam-side down on a rack.

  • Smoke at 225°F for 30 minutes.
  • Increase heat to 400°F and cook for 5–8 minutes until bacon is crispy.
  • Cool for 10 minutes so the bacon firms up.
  • Mix ranch dressing with buffalo sauce in a small bowl.
  • Serve warm with dip and enjoy!
