Steps:
- Line 2 baking sheets with foil, and set wire racks inside each. Spray racks with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut the bacon strips in half crosswise. Tightly wrap a strip of bacon around each piece of pineapple and transfer to prepared racks seam-side down. Continue with remaining bacon and pineapple. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.
- Preheat grill for cooking over indirect heat or an oven to 450 degrees F.
- Whisk together the honey, mustard, hot sauce and liquid smoke in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Put the baking sheets on the grill over indirect heat or in the oven (in batches if necessary) and cook until bacon starts to get crispy, carefully flipping bites once midway through cooking, 30 minutes per batch. Brush each bite with the honey mustard and let cook until bacon is crispy and glaze has caramelized, an additional 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: A ripe pineapple will be sweeter and more flavorful. Look for a pineapple that is golden yellow in color and has a slightly soft, but not mushy, feel.
- Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide a better ratio of bacon to pineapple and will hold up better on the grill.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: Crispy bacon will add a delicious smoky flavor to the pineapple bites.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple: A sharp knife will help you to cut the pineapple into even-sized pieces.
- Soak the skewers in water before using: This will help to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Serve the pineapple bites immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh off the grill.
