Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub potatoes and pat dry. Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Wrap each potato in foil; par-bake about 20 minutes.
In the meantime, mix sauce ingredients together; chill.
Preheat grill to about 350 degrees. Unwrap potatoes. Cut a small slice off of the fatter ends of the potatoes so that they can stand up. Cut a small slice off of the other end.
Carefully scoop some of the insides out of this end (use an apple corer or a jalapeno corer or a small scoop) to make room to stuff the potatoes They may break a little, that's ok. The bacon will hold the skins in place. Wrap each potato with 2 bacon slices, using wooden toothpicks to secure the bacon.
Stand potatoes on their fat ends and stuff the meat and cheese in the potatoes in layers, ending with cheese on top.
Grill the potatoes over direct heat for about 30-40 minutes, basting with BBQ sauce every 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender and the bacon is cooked. Garnish potatoes with green onions. Serve with the sauce.
