.. What temperature do you recommend? Would a higher temp. be better to get more smoke since there will not be a cold butt in the smoker?
Realize that higher temps mean less, not more smoke as 1) the wood burns more efficienty and 2) the beans spend less time in smoke.
The recipe says 225 for temp.
I didn't mention bumping up the temp on purpose as many people are cooking them with something else and I don't want to recommend bumping the temp if other food is in there.
For my own, I do them 3 hours at 225 and then bump up to 275 to finish. Usually 1, but no more than 2 more hours. Really depends on the container you use and how many beans in the container.
cook them to taste as you can cook them longer and get mushy (overcooked) beans
