Smoke the eggs in a foil pan over indirect very low heat, with the lid closed, until they develop a smoky flavor, about 45 minutes, turning periodically to coat them evenly with a smoky hue. Transfer the eggs to a bowl and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 30 minutes. Then cut each egg lengthwise in half, scoop out the yolks into a bowl, and mash with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, chives, mustard, ¼ teaspoon of the paprika, the salt and pepper, and mix until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the hollows of the egg whites and garnish with the bacon and the remaining paprika. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate.
