Fill each bacon-wrapped sausage with the cheese mixture using a Ziploc bag.

Sprinkle additional barbecue seasoning on top of the filled pig shots.

Set up the grill to cook at 275°F to 300°F using 12 briquettes and hickory wood for smoke.

Place pig shots on the grill opposite the coals and cook for about 60 minutes.

Drizzle barbecue sauce over the pig shots and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes to set the sauce.
