I followed the directions in the OP for the most part. The rub I used was some leftover from ribs I made. Honestly, I can't remember what all is in it, but here are a few things:

Brown Sugar
Paprika
Season Salt
Pepper
Cayenne
Kosher Salt

I did carmelize some BBQ sauce on it for about 30 minutes. I used mild Italian sausage. I used a crapload of wood. I'd reccomend it. The smoke added a tremendous amount to the piece. I was thinking it might be doable in the oven, if you put it on a rack and then put a pan to catch the drippings, but I don't think it would be even close to as good without the smoke.

I'd recommend it. It certainly isnt traditional Q, but it is a solid changeup.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips. I'm thinking of throwing in some mushrooms and maybe a little onion. Gotta make one soon...
