The way I have seen brunt ends done is smoke it whole, then cube and sauce and put back on smoker for a bit.
You don't want to just smoke a full packer and then separate it yourself?
OK take it as you will, I saw an episode of BBQ Pitmasters and one of the guys actually did a fine grate of charcoal over the meat as part of his finishing rub. I thought it was pretty weird and I doubt I would ever try it.
