It's hard to tell in the photo, but if it is gelatinous after being blast chilled, then "jam" might be an accurate description.
I haven't eaten a lot of chutneys, but I don't think I've ever had one that was gelatinous in texture...

Jam sounds tastier than chutney.
Bacon Jam seems like a tasty band name.
Bacon Chutney seems like the splattery-sound it makes when it comes back up. Ewwww.

Hmm, I didn't think of that. Maybe that's why "bacon chutney" sounds to me like a better name for this delicacy....

Voodoo Doughnut in Portland has made a big chunk of their reputation on their Bacon Maple Bars.
Better than it may sound, actually...their doughnut wedding chapels and anantomically correct baked goods for bachelorette parties, maybe not so much.
Made you look, Lorin!

Meh, jam just sounds sugary and sticky. Chutney sounds like all kinds of exciting flavours, maybe because I like it.
Chutney's kind of more like pickle than jam, though.

Assuredly...none dare mess with HLT's bacon (especially his woven bacon!)...of that, there can be no room for doubt.

In watching the bacon explosion video I've been wondering.
Could a non-sweet mop be used for most of the smoking time? The sugar in the bar-be-cue sauce caramelizes so much it appears as an unappetizing burnt crust to me. I'm thinking a layer of bar-be-cue sauce the last hour of smoking only?

You certainly could do that, but bear in mind that this is cooked low-and-slow using indirect heat from a limited number of briquettes. That barbeque sauce crust is not so much burnt as it is reduced (along with elements of the bacon fat that renders off) into a bark around the bacon bomb.
Over direct heat, yes, do not use sugar- or tomato-based sauces until the very end, but such sauces can be used for the whole cooking time -- to very appetizing effect -- when low-and-slow indirect heat methods are used.
