I'm thinking must not be that good or there would be a commercial bait with this added. Any thoughts?

Bacon grease will attract yotes. Beware! It will attract everything else.

Once again many basic odors, complex and /or food by products all will catch some animals. I wouldn't use it at every set or every location but you can catch curious and opportunistic animals if they find it. Some may have interest others not so much.

If it is all that you have to use give it some exposure for a week or so trapping and document your results compared to other lures or baits.

Of course all this info will depend on how much and the type of traffic that comes by.

Pound a smooth stake 10-12" in some sandy soil and then fill up the hole with bacon grease. Come back in a week. Or better yet, set a couple of trail cameras on it. You will learn the power of bacon. As Mr. Jameson said, it attracts everything, but canines in the fall find it irresistible.

FYI don't do this test in a field road unless you like getting kicked off of a property! I've had I" holes 6" deep turn into 10" holes knee deep

That's basically what I was going to do. I have some homemade bait that is a few years old and does good on its own but thought maybe some bacon grease would kick it up a notch.

Laz, I knew you did great on grey fox with your bacon bait but wasn't sure how the coyotes reacted to it. Real good it sounds like. Lol

As stated above I am afraid of attracting too many undesirable critters also but if is that good on coyotes it would be worth it.

I do not worry about what else it brings in. Once they are taken out then you will get what you want after, that is where more then one set in a area will work the best. I not sure if I will grind up the meat or just cut it in chunks .

Try this. Dig a bait hole and fill with bacon bait or bacon grease. Then go back away from it 50 -200 feet downwind from the bait and make some subtle flat sets with just a dropping, or tiny bit of urine, or some coyote water. The other critters will be focused on the food, but coyotes by their nature are going to mill around, pace, zig and zag, etc. They will ALWAYS approach the bait from the down wind side and find those subtle flat sets that the other critters will pass by on their way to get the good stuff.

One of the benefits of the bacon bait/grease is that it is slurpy so it leeches into the soil. That's the reason the critters dig and dig like some of the other guys have said. With a chunk bait, once one critter gets the chunk out of the hole, it loses a lot of its attraction.

So it is best to grind up the meat then . Is that what your advice is then ? I just looking for different ides and what will be working the best .I know need to keep the animal as long as possible

Yes, grind. And don't worry if your bait is a bit soupy.

Dad made a pre-bait that used old fryer oil he picked up from restaurants as the base ingredient. He added castor, and some other ingredients and the digging response was similar. He sold many gallons of that stuff over the years.
