have you considered melting and running it through a coffee filter?

I don't own any coffee filters. I use a French press.

You use it once to defame your neighbors/local businesses and then you throw it away.
Using bacon grease for cooking is gross, especially when it’s been sitting in a jar going rancid.

>reuse my bacon fat
Reusing it to fry isn't the best idea. Over time it degrades under heat to stuff you don't really want in your gut.
What you can do with it is to make roux for white sauce (bechamel), which is a base for all sorts of tasty sauces and soups.
tl;dr Eat it.

Make candles out of it, burns clean and you don't have to worry about health concerns from fat degradation through constant reheating.

Don't fry over and over, reusing it like a deep frying oil gets reused. Instead, use it for uses where it just gets heated up one more time

>elaborate

The ones I know about specifically are the decomposition products from glycerol. Fats are triglycerides, three fatty acids attached to a glycerol skeleton. When the fat degrades, you get free glycerol, which forms acrolein and acrylic acid (yes, the feedstock for the plastic) and some other related compounds. They're highly reactive, so if you leave them for an hour, they'll go down by themselves. But if you eat food from them hot, you'll have a bunch of reactive species in your gut.
In addition to that, the free fatty acids will tend to oxidize and you'll get a bunch of trans-fatty acids form. They're OK if they're at the relatively low natural percentages, but they get elevated with oxidization.

Heat the full jar directly over the open flame of your stove burner. Once the grease has melted and starts to boil, pour in some sodium hydroxide drain cleaner and stir quickly. This will saponify the fat into the optimal candle material.
You might want to wear an oven mitt
