Oh I took it as humor, that's why I contributed my thoughts about a sheet steel to smoke the beans individually. Hard to "read" the meaning in the words via the internet sometimes insn't it?
Mango, you're certainly welcome here, if you can put up with OUR sense of humor (or lack of...sometimes)
Trust me. Make a pot of beans, put them under a butt that's smoking and in the hours in the smoker, it will take on plenty of smoke and you'll never go back to regular beans. It is a simple recipe that you can modify to your wishes.
