Does baking bacon cause smoke?

Originally Answered: Why does bacon make so much smoke? The simple answer is that you are cooking the bacon too hot. When I cook bacon, I like to cook at low to medium heat, so it may take longer to cook but won't get burnt to a crisp.

Can I use bacon grease that sat out all night?

Bacon grease will go rancid at room temperature far quicker than it will in a cold, dark place, so storage is important. While unlikely, it's possible that mold could appear on bacon grease that has been left too long. If there's any sign of mold growth, the grease should not be consumed.
