That looks some kinda good.

Be right over.

Looks like she is getting it done. That looks good enough to eat,

Looks like that smoker is working fine to me...good job

Well it took from 10:00am to 8:00pm but here is the finished product. Have a safe Easter weekend everyone.

Have a good one scrat

Maybe one day I'll get me a set and forget smoker but I do enjoy figuring out the fuel air ratio needed for low and slow on a conventional grill.

Off my old weber 22" kettle grill today.

Crankfest baked beans

I had a few people ask what was in the beans I brought today. Here is a list of ingredients.

1 #10 (1 gal) can of showboat beans

1 large red onion yellow or white is good also.

1 large bell pepper

16 ounces of bbq sauce

Cup of prepared mustard

Cup of dark brown sugar

5 slices of bacon.

Garlic

1/4 cup honey or molasses optional

Salt/pepper to taste.

Slice bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and render down in pan.

Roughly cut the onion and bell pepper.

When bacon is almost done remove from pan reserve fat.

Sautee onion and pepper in skillet until soft.

Drain excess liquid from beans. Keep can right side up to help this process. Liquid settles to top. I have made this mistake, no fun.

Place drained beans into rather large pan or dutch oven.

Start adding above ingredients
Stir well and add onions, peppers, garlic and bacon. Mix well and taste. Looking for slightly sweet and tangy taste. Savory flavor will come after baking and resting. Adjust with ingredients and and salt and pepper.

Bake uncovered @ 350 for about an hour. Take out of oven and stir for a few minutes to release heat/steam and reduce liquid.

Let sit uncovered for an awhile so beans will take a set

Enjoy

Variations;

If I am smoking spare ribs I trim them down to st louis style. I smoke the rib tips and strip some meat for seasoning. Butts the same. You know the liquid in the foil of finishing bbq is good to use. Careful can over do. No bacon needed. I also put a couple bay leaves when I have them.

They musta been dang good, they were gone, thanks for bringing them, Ms Tammy said they were great!!
