Ingredients

ground beef (Used in the filling; amount not stated in the source.)
cheese (Combined with the ground beef for the filling; type and amount not stated.)
manicotti pasta (Large tubular pasta; the source compares it to big rigatoni.)
bacon (Used to wrap the filled pasta; amount not stated.)
barbecue sauce (Brush onto the shells near the end of cooking; amount not stated.)

Steps

1
Combine the ground beef and cheese to make the filling. The source does not specify the proportions or seasoning.
2
Stuff the filling into the manicotti pasta tubes.
3
Wrap each filled pasta tube in bacon.
4
For best results, prepare the wrapped shells in advance so the pasta has time to soften. The source does not specify how far in advance or whether they should be refrigerated.
5
Bake or smoke the wrapped shells at 300°F.
6
Near the end of cooking, brush the shells with barbecue sauce and continue until finished.
7
Enjoy the smoked shotgun shells as an appetizer or party food.

Notes

The source does not provide ingredient quantities, pasta count, cooking time, doneness cue, or a specific baking-versus-smoking method. It says the shells may be prepared in advance to soften the pasta, but they can also be cooked immediately.
