Looks awesome  Mac.
How long do you leave the beans in and do you cover them?  I might through some in..

I typically use Grandma Browns beans and they are less soupy.
This batch used Bush’s because my buddy Darin donated the large can.
Grandma Browns will thicken up in less time.  Like 5-6 hrs
Those Bush’s I left in there for almost 8 hrs before they got to the consistency I prefer.
I smoke for an hour then stir them
This helps mix the smoky crust down into them and also helps to release moisture.  Then I add more chips and smoke another hour, stir and repeat till done.
The large pan had brown sugar, chopped onions and a lb of cut up raw bacon in with the beans.
The small pan had jalapeño and a small can of mushrooms in it.  I also sprinkled in some pork rub seasoning I like.  I also added 1/4 bottle of lime Caribbean hot sauce to them.
You can add anything you like.
Cheese works too!
Oftentimes I will smoke pork on racks above the pan of beans allowing the meat drippings to fall into the beans for added flavor.
Have fun!

Didn't get to do the baked beans in the smoker but my pork shoulder turned into the best pulled pork sandwiches I have ever had...

Good looking food everyone. I did a bunch of ABT's Saturday. I did get smart this time and skim a few off the top for me. I didn't get any pictures of the cook,  but here are some I had for breakfast Sunday morning.


We're planning a fish fry next weekend at camp. I'm planning on brining and smoking a bunch of pike fillets too.

That looks great.
So that's just a pork shoulder smoked and cooled and sliced. Can ya freeze it? And do you just heat it up in a frying pan later??

That's side pork. I bought it at store.. it's off a pig from the local fair..
After mixing up brine it soaked for minimum 5 days.. this batch I soaked for 9 days and then smoked at 170° for 7 hrs it reached 155°.. I move into my cooler to cool down quickly and hang in cooler overnight.. easy to slice up when its chilled
Honestly.. Better than ANY store bought bacon I've ever had

Bacon brine
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp pink salt
4 1/2 tsp course kosher salt
3/4 cup water
3 tbsp brown sugar
4 1/2 tsp black pepper
I put side pork in a gallon bag if I can.. dump brine in and then flip bag every day for duration of soak time
Rinse off real good and hang in cooler overnight to dry before you smoke
As long as you wash off good it will not be salty bacon at all but itll be cured perfect
