This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.
1
Preheat
We’re smoking these, so 220° is the target.
2
Mix it up
Mix the sauce ingredients, drain the beans, and stir everything together in a grill-safe pan.
3
Smoke
For about an hour until you peek. Then give it a little stir, and smoke it for another hour.
4
Enjoy
These are pretty flexible, so if you want to smoke them for the 2 hours called for here or go longer, like 4-5 hours, it should be fine either way. If you go longer, just keep an eye on the sauce and if things start getting less saucey than you’d like, throw some beer in there to loosen it up. You do you.
