Has anyone ever tried soaking grains in bourbon instead of water before smoking malt? Any advice is appreciated too

I'm going to brew an applewood smoked Märzen and upon doing some research I found some brewers have sprayed their malt with bourbon instead of water during the smoking process to keep the grain moist, this gave me an idea.

My question is: what would be the outcome if instead of the pre-soaking the grain in water prior to smoking you pre-soaked the grain in bourbon or something similar? Has anyone ever tried this or perhaps has any insight on what flavours if any would result? I'll probably try it anyway, but any point of view is appreciated.

I believe I have heard of it on Brewing Network, but my immediate problem would be, as @Dale mentioned, that you may end up with a boom and ash.

Seems I am also answering after you already done it with no issues! Congrats.
