If you like rubbery skin, no problem.... When there are tools at your disposal to make great food, why not use them....
Reverse seared steak as an example.... Add cold smoke for a short period of time then sear at 700 on the BBQ... perfectly smoked and a black and blue steak for dinner.... I smoke turkey 2-3 times a year.... in the smoker then in the oven... they sure come out good...
Smokers aren't designed to be a "one size fits all".... they are designed to add the delicious smoky flavor to meat... you can choose to finish the meat any way you like.....
When I cold smoke my bacon, sometimes for days on end, that's not the end of it.... I slice it.... freeze it..... then cook later.....
I guess bacon will not be in your list of stuff to do, if your smoker has to complete the task....:biggrin:
