Chili and bean pots

[roy richardson]

What are your receommendations for the best way to smoke some chili or beans?  I finally have the Big Baby built and running, and with fall here some chili or beans sounds like an idea I can run with.

Any recommendations on hardware?

I do my beans in a cast iron skillet  Put everything together on the stove then move to the smoker for 3 - 4 hours

I use both cast iron pans (for smaller batches or reheat) and aluminum pans. Cast iron is easier to handle, looks nice (you can serve the food out of it), Al. Pan is more convenient (disposable) but I don't like to see it on the table.

I normaly use cast iron, but any oven safe pan will work.

I have some old corning wear glass pans that are smoke brown.  They work really well and I just use them for the smoker.  One is the 9x9 pan, 12x12, and two bread pans.  Mac-n-cheese is awesome and sometimes I break it into two bread pans with beans in the square pan.

  They do not clean up easily and have a good smoke look to them but they are only used in the smoker so no harm there.
