How about just a mason jar of bacon grease in the refrigerator? Add and subtract as you go.
If you can find face bacon, that will yield far more renerdable fat (it's virtually all fat really).
Also, there is a recipe for SV bacon that I tried and commented on here

I honestly was hesitant to try it, "Why bother?" was my thought. Results were outstanding. Doesn't render much fat though. The juice in the bag is actually more meat juice than fat and the frying time is so short that very little melts.
