BigDave83:
Been seeing videos of people doing these for a while, Saw manicotti tubes and remembered I wanted to try them.

I only sauced 4, they are better with the sauce on them to me and the GF. I need to add more or different flavors to the filling. I just used half pound each of Uncle Charlie's Hot Italian and Uncle Charlie's Sweet Italian sausage with some pizza cheese blend from Gordons. They weren't as bad to fill as I thought they would be.

Maybe some cooked onions and peppers added in to the mix next time.

Feel free to add any suggestions.

Manicoti shells (I used 9 for the filling I had)
0.5 pound sweet sausage
0.5 pound hot sausage
handful of pizza blend cheese.
regular sliced bacon for wrapping
dusted with put BBQ seasoning

Mix the filling well and pack it into the tubes, you may hear them crack but if you are careful it works out well. I stuff from one side probably 3/4 or more full then finished off the other end. Wrapped with a slice of regular sliced bacon. I put them in the fridge over night to help soften the shells some, dusted with some seasoning and had the GMG DC set at 245 (it runs hotter, not sure how much though). Used the Hamers pellets I usually use, and did them for about 2 hours, these would have probably been done in 1.5 when I checked internal temp they were 170-185° I put a little sauce on a few of them and left them go while I got my pork steaks ready.

Edited to add don't look to close at the dirty smoker drip pan. I did wash the racks before I started. They were pretty bad, and I did a quick scrape of the tray but those 2 piece drip trays at not easy to scrape.

I've seen a video or two listed as available but ignored them.  Yours look inviting.  I may follow your lead.
