honey in sticks

[Klondikesmoker]

I am making a new batch of sticks today and would like to add some sweetner.  I have always liked the honey garlic sticks and wondered if I could just add honey to my pepperoni sticks to "honey" them up a bit. Is this a good idea or will the honey settle to the bottom of the sticks during smoking?   How much honey should I add to a 10lb batch of sticks?

I've added honey myself to some sausages and they turned out great.
For 10 Lbs I used 1/2 to 3/4 cup.

These were not smoked, just slapped on the BBQ.

For smoking:
It should not settle, no other liquid does that I know of.

I found the following on line.
Sugar, Brown Sugar, Honey, Maple Syrup Interchangeably

So it would depend on how sweet you want your pepperoni. Also if your recipe calls for added water make sure you reduce the added water accordingly.
