Bacon wrapped tots. And according to some around here, if you top them with cheese it adds another level of awesomeness. I haven't had the chance to try the cheese as of yet.They/Them

Pulled pork egg rolls, Mexican panty droppers, stuffed pickles, olives, dates or artichoke hearts wrapped in bacon.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I will heartedly endorse @henapple's Mexican panty droppers and the drilled out stuffed pickles. Just measure the pickle and drill bit diameters so you don't get a " blow-out". He can provide the details but both are winners! YMMV-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

+1 with @DMW on bacon wrapped tots. And if you can find them, bacon wrapped sweet potato tots brushed with maple sugar are great as well.
Pig candy
Pizza bites (Store bought dough wrapped around a slice a pepperoni and a slice of string cheese) Sauce for dipping.
Nutella bites - Puff pastry spread with nutella and a banana slice, wrapped and Egged.

I got this recipe from a guy who was a sous chef in the Nixon white house. Very simple but incredibly good. Get some pitted dates and stuff them with slivers of water chestnut, then wrap the date in bacon and hold it together with a tooth pick. The sugar from the date makes a glaze for the bacon as it cooks. The water chestnut stuffing provides just the right crunch. When the bacon is done they are good to go. Only problem is to keep from burning your lips because you will be eating these things right off the grill. I make them most every Christmas, alongside what ever I am cooking for the main dish. If I don't cook them the family starts to complain.

@keepervodeflame, those sound delicious!One of my favorite Xmas fingerfoods are candied almonds/walnuts, bet they would be great with a kiss of smoke. Likewise, has anyone ever made Chex Mix on the Egg?_____________

Thanks to @Cen-Tex , made this last year for Christmas:The Cen-Tex Smoker said:
That was me. It's smoked duck with Brie and fig jam with jalapeño on top. Freaking awesome.Did an awesome appetizer a while back. Smoked duck, cooled and cubed, on toast points with fig jam, some type of cheese (forget what kind exactly, but it was a creamy goat cheese i think) and a thin slice of jalapano. It was excellent.
Pretty sure i got the recipe from someone on here.

Last Christmas party we had.....we had prep-ed bacon wrapped tots.One of my guests accidentally ate one raw before we took them out to the Eggs. He said he felt like he swallowed a golf ball. LMBO.Needless to say, they are a staple at our Holiday parties now.

Fill the largest sheet pan you can fit on the egg with clams, a glug of white wine, a 1/2 glug of evoo, too much garlic, juice of 1/2 lemon, plus rough chopped thick cut bacon, pancetta or soppressata. Add a pinch or more of red pepper flakes.Fire it til the clams open. Add some curly parsley Serve in a wide bowl on a platter with ripped up crusty bread. Have a spare bowl handy for the empty shells. Don't count on leftovers.(Be sure to clean the clams first by letting them sit in a bowl of fresh water and cornmeal. Change the water every so often. Easy peasy.)It's a 302 thing . . .
