...If you add beans the last few hours, aren't you just using the really fatty stuff or is that what you want in the beans?
Yes, fat is flavor and I want that in my beans.
If you're going no fat or low cal, don't use a PB.
I've never been so scientific. I just try to time my beans near the finish of the butt.
Not sure if that's fat or not. You could collect it, and cool it, if it congels, it's fat.
The real key is to get some of that pork flavor and more importantly get the beans in the smoke so they pick up lots of smoke.
