Instructions

Put the hardboiled eggs into an aluminum dish, and smoke at 180° for 30-45 minutes- 30 if your smoker's preheated, 45 if not.
Remove the eggs from the smoker, and set them aside to allow them to cool completely.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop the yolk out and into a waiting bowl.
Using a fork, mash the egg yolks then add the 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, mustard, jalapeno juice, and rub to the bowl. Whisk the mixture together until smooth.
Add half the bacon to the mixture, stirring until evenly combined. If the mixture's too thick, add the extra mayo to the mixture to make it creamier. Taste and add salt & pepper, as desired.
Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a large ziplocking bag, push to one corner and twist the rest of the bag up to create pressure. Set aside.
Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter. Snip off a small bit of the corner of the yolk filled bag and pipe the mixture into the eggs, filling them all evenly.
Sprinkle the eggs with smoked paprika and the rest of the bacon bits.
Serve with pickled jalapeno slices.

Notes

You can sub Cajun seasoning for the BBQ rub.
Be careful not to tear the eggs when scooping the yolk out. I like to use a tiny teaspoon if I can't gently 'pop' them out by applying a tiny bit of pressure to the under side.
I recommend using a large ziplocking bag to pipe the filling in instead of a spoon, because it's cleaner and gives you a neater finished product. Start with a small snip, and you can snip the corner larger if needed to make piping easier. You could also use a piping bag and tip if you are feeling fancy.
