Yeah - I was thinking the same thing - about pre-smoking the meat. I don't think you would get much smoke flavor on the meat if you don't pre-smoke it a bit.
This is the smoke I did in my 22.5" WSM - fed about 80 people:

I usually offer to throw something on the smoker for them while I'm smoking my stuff - I just tell them to go buy it and season it then I'll toss it on while I'm working on my stuff. Needless to say nobody complains about my smoker.
Haven't made this yet, but the video is hillarious and it looks like it might be interesting to try, course anything with bacon is good in my book!

Got an e-mail to participate in a survey for Papa Murphey's Pizza - they gave me a free large Hawaiian pizza and I had to do a quick survey after eating it. Then when you get done with the survey you can also pick a $25 dollar gift card (about 8 different ones to pick from). I picked Amazon.com...
That title made me laugh! I have a St. Bernard so sometimes those "balls" get a bit saucy (drooly) when licked..... lol
OK - on to the food! Great idea, those look awesome!

Take a look at the link just below my signature - it's my original lamp rod grommet mod for WSM's but they will work on anything. I can put two 90° maverick proves through each one no problem, and best of all for under $5 you can make as many as you want/need and place them where you want them.
For beef I stick with S.P.O.G.: Salt, Pepper, Onion (granulated), Garlic (granulated), and if you want to kick it up a bit add some cayenne powder. I like to taste the beef more than the rub.
