Bacon (pork) substitute making Clay's beef bbq?

Hey gang I'm making clays bbq beef recipe for the first time this weekend,  but some of the family doesn't eat pork(bacon).  I can only assume using the bacon provides quite a bit of flavor and fat, but since I can't use any pork does anyone have any other suggestions that I can use in place of the bacon during the cook?   I'm going to use some beef broth/stock instead of some of the water when I switch it to the Dutch oven, but would appreciate any advice on a non pork bacon replacement to top the beef with(the things we do for family)....

Thanks fellow egger's!

    It's been awhile since I made it, but I don't think you will really miss the bacon. There are enough other ingredients in there that it will still be amazing.

    What he said. I've made it without bacon and it was good.
