Season then immediate cook?

Afternoon all, from hot IL!
Question: any issues with smoking right after the initial seasoning is completed? (Got a late start trying to connect WiFi, but seasoning now!) Smells so good, and wife and daughter want something tonight. Thinking of just throwing some chicken breasts in--no brine, no rub, just season and smoke (may use up any unused hickory Steve sent for seasoning, plus some cherry chips I have).
Thanks in advance.
 
The difference is season-smoke & season-rest-smoke, is slight. All the steps do help to make tasty food BUT you can still make great food quickly.

There are no rule to BBQ on guidelines.

 
Thanks PB!
Box had cooled down to 122* by the time I started it up again. Used what was left of the hickory chunks from seasoning, and added 2oz cherry chips (at 250* set temp, wondering about combustion, but I kept the chips near the front, which was the coolest spot in the tray with seasoning). Getting whiffs of Dr. Pepper at first  :)

Follow up:
No combustion of chips, turned to charcoal chips. Smoked about 2 hrs 15 min. Very moist, but done. Great color (cherry!). Great flavor.
Success.
