Smoking Fanatic
Great recipe Dutch! Do you use your own bacon for this recipe? Gonna give it a try for the game next week!
Dutch, Thanks I smoke with a Cookshack, I can place it directly over the smoke box. I never thought of using Dutch oven in the smoker. Smoking some short ribs tomorrow with 3.2.1. With some Hickory from a tree that came down in a storm last fall. This should be perfect time for beans. Can't wait to try them! My nephew is leaving for a mission trip to Africa soon and He will be over on Friday for dinner. Going to smoke a pork shoulder and have the beans then also. Everything in them sounds awesome. So twice in a week should be no problem with the rest of family.jkrezdorn- Shouldn't be a problem putting the beans in a cast iron pot and then placing the pot in the smoker-only drawback it that the cast iron takes longer to get to temp than the aluminum pans.
I it do quite often. And it won't hurt the pot.
Put the pot in the hottest part of your smoker (I use a reverse flow so for me that would be right at the firebox side).
Don't put the lid on the pot-and give the beans a good stir every twice and again to get the smokey flavor down into the beans.
Don't worry about the thin blue smoke marring the outside of the pot. If you have black billowing smoke, you have more to worry about than you pot.
faucetman- I use the orginal Bush beans. Shoot, in a pinch I'll even use a generic brand of pork and bean and use them-I'll toss the fatback that's in the can into the fry pan to render and use the fat to saute the peppers and onions.Thanks for sharing a great recipe. Can't wait to try it. Looking for the reply on which beans you use. Lots of choices from Bush. I hope to see a post on how the recipe with the rib drippings turns out.
