Before we start cooking you need to prepare the Shish Kebab. Start by pre-soaking the wood skewers and the vegetables, so they don't dry out and burn as easily.

Supplies

Shish Kebab Skewers
Fire
Lots of Bacon
Brussels Sprouts
Asparagus Spears
Hot Dogs
Cheese

Step 1: Bacon-on-a-Stick A.k.a. Pork-Ribbons

To prepare Thick cut bacon grilled on a stick:

Start with some thick cut bacon strips.
Skewer the Bacon along the length of the strip by threading the skewer like a needle in and out of the bacon.
The bacon will have a wavy look on the skewer like a ribbon.

Step 2: Bacon-Spears

Now we prepare the asparagus spears wrapped in bacon, on a stick:

First soak the asparagus spears in salt water to soften them, and help prevent burning.
Remove the spears from their water bath.
If some of the spears are very long, with a woody end, cut that end off.
Wrap each asparagus spears with bacon. Try to cover the entire spear.
Skewer the ends of a few bacon spears together. I put five spears together on two skewers.

Step 3: Bacon-Brussels

Now we prepare the Skewered Brussels sprouts wrapped in bacon:

First soak the sprouts in salt water to soften them. You could pre-boil them to soften them even more, depending on how you like your Brussels sprouts.
Remove the sprouts from their water bath.
If some of the sprouts are very large, cut them in half. Small sprouts can be grilled whole.
Skewer the end of one strip of bacon, then push one sprout onto the skewer.
Wrap the bacon over the sprout, and put the bacon on the skewer again.
Skewer another Brussels sprout, then fold the bacon over it like you did before.
Keep threading the bacon strip between the Brussels.

Step 4: Bacon-Dog

Now we prepare the Bacon wrapped hot dog with cheese:

Put each hot dog on a skewer, with some sticking out each end.
Cut a piece of cheese the length of the dog.
Skewer the end of a bacon strip to secure it to the dog.
Wrap the bacon around both the hot dog, and the cheese. Try to completely cover the cheese.

Step 5: Bacon-Grilled-Cheese

Now we prepare some cheese wrapped in bacon on a stick.

Cut the cheese into strips.
Wrap each piece of cheese with bacon. Try to completely cover the cheese.
Either skewer the cheese sticks lengthwise, or cut them into short pieces and put several on a skewer.

Step 6: Fire!

To prepare my barbecue grill, I used wood charcoal.

Place the Bacon-Babs on the grill and watch them, bacon can burn quickly.

Once the cheese filled kebabs started to drip, I move them onto a folded piece of foil, so they could continue to cook, without loosing the cheese.

I charred most of the bacon and burned the asparagus, because the fire got bigger once bacon grease started dripping. Let the coals burn down more before cooking so you have a smaller fire.

Step 7: Eat!

Even with some of the bacon charred, and the asparagus burnt, it all still tasted good. None of the bacon was under cooked. Next time I will try to cook it slower over a lower heat.
