If thicker, crunchier "bark" is what one is looking for, I would cook it over an open pit and not put it in a smoker. None of the BBQ I've ever eaten out of a smoker is near as good as open pit BBQ. And you don't have to rub anything on it to get good flavor. Just some good hickory or pecan wood. That's just my humble opinion.
