Hi all,
I smoked a pork butt Sunday (started Saturday night), and decided to do some SmokinOakie beans. I basically did the SmokingDuffy mod - two cans of Bush's beans, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon (of course!), sauteed onion and bell pepper, strips of bacon on top in an aluminum pan. I put 'em in under the butt for the last 3-4 hours of the smoke and added a chunk of pecan when they went in. I actually forgot the BBQ sauce - would have been good.
Man, these beans were good. We had them for dinner Sunday night and I enjoyed them - although the pecan may have been a little too "smokey". I served reheated pulled pork and the beans again on Monday night, and the beans had mellowed out, letting the sweetness of the molasses come out a little more. Yum yum.
