I would use the CI. The stockpot will probably steam the rice too much. I've heard of the sheet pan method but never tried it. The key to good fried rice is to use rice that is at least a day old. Fresh rice will get mushy if you try to use it for fried rice. You want to use that hard cold block...

Impressive, that sounds and looks delicious. Nice plating skills as well, plus bonus points for using the correct terminology. You’ve elevated the dish so much I would consider it a Hachis Parmentier and not just a cottage pie.

Did you set the timer? Some electric smokers won’t start heating until you put the timer on.

If I’m pressure cooking beans or using the stovetop I’ll add smoked paprika to give it a bit of flavor. The best way to add smoked flavor would be to cook the beans in the smoker. For veggies you could try using smoked butter.

I would add the rice towards the end or cook separately. If cooking on low for 8hrs I would add rice around the 6hr mark. Make sure you are not using instant rice.

As long as there is adequate space an they are cooked to the proper temps you’re good.

I need this in my life. 🙂
