Smoked Red Beans & Rice, Ribs, & Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread

[briggy]

An old friend of mine recently started smoking his red beans and rice and swears by it. That's all I need to hear to give this one a go!

Here are all of the ingredients minus the hot sauce and beans. I didn't have a ham shank on hand so I'm just chopping some leftover ham and adding a leftover ham bone that we had in the freezer.

Hot sauce and beans of course - beans soaked about 18 hours.

Beans were hard boiled for 20 minutes before moving on to the smoker - skimmed the gray foam from the top.

Ribs making an appearance rubbed with Twist'd Q Sweet Heat - has been in the pantry so might as well use it.

On to the smoker!

Off topic, but I'm really liking the new Smoke X4 with Billows.

More to come!

Not to slight your ribs, but those beans look fantastic. Looks like your in for a special meal.
