Never did develop a taste for mesquite. I use hickory for bacon and applewood or pear for everything else. I've tried orange but there's so much oil in it, it smells and tastes like furniture polish.

I have built and used BBQ smokers/cookers of all sizes, from a 275 gallon fuel tank down to a 20lb propane cylinder and there is no substitute for the smoky flavor.

I like apple, cherry, and maple for pork, mesquite for beef, and chicken, and alder for salmon and halibut.

Here's my recipe: 1 55oz. can of Bush's "Original" Baked Beans. 1 15oz. can of Bush's Black Beans (I put 'em in a strainer, rinse them and let them drain). 1 16oz. can of Bush's Navy Beans. 1 16oz. can of Bush's Pinto Beans. 1 lb. of Raspberry-Chipotle marinated Bacon (chopped into small pieces and cooked). Drain off any grease. 1 lb. of Italian or spicy sausage (or hamburger), cooked and chopped into small chunks. Drain off any grease. With the exception of the Black Beans, I use the juices from all the beans. I put them all in a large bowl and mix them together until they're blended well. Add bacon and sausage, blend well. Sometimes I sprinkle brown sugar (to taste), and stir that in also. Refrigerate until you're ready to pour them into the aluminum roasting pan and put them in the smoker. I then pour the beans into a disposable aluminum roasting pan (found in the baking aisle in grocery stores). I usually use the deep, 9" X 13" or the deep 12" X 12" pans. About 2 hours before the meat will be ready to pull out of the smoker, I put the beans in BELOW the meat so juices can drip into the beans and add even more flavor. Stir every 30 minutes. I also use Apple Juice in the water pan instead of water. |
