  4. Stuff each half jalapeno with cream cheese mixture, stopping at the rim of the pepper.
  5. Wrap each pepper in one slice of bacon, covering as much of the cream cheese as possible.
  6. Place the poppers on the upper rack of the smoker, pepper side down, and cook for 20 minutes.
  7. Check on the poppers, flipping so the bacon side is down and cooking for 20 more minutes.
