You're right about cooking bacon in the oven - only way to go.
I recently discovered bacon burnt ends from a youtube video - cut 2 lbs of slab bacon into cubes, coat with brown sugar and a bit of your favorite rub, put on a grate and into your smoker (mild wood, maybe apple or alder) for up to 2 hours, checking halfway through.
Coat cubes with sauce of choice, back into smoker for 30 more minutes. Highly recommended.

Bacon is also good cooked in the microwave. The Ninja Foodie (air crisper) turns out a superior product as well.
