Looks great Dave. I LOVE those beans, but have never tried them on the smoker with a butt on top. Bet that really helps. Gotta try soon. Thanks for sharing the pics. Steve

I almost always cook my beans under my pork butts, it adds greatly to the flavor in my opinion. Be careful if you have salt in your rub though. I usually move my beans out from under after a couple of hours, otherwise I find mine get a bit too salty for my taste.

YMMV!

Those fatties look awesome!

The next time I do pulled pork, I'm going to do beans too and use the drippings!

When doing this, remember to use less salt in your rub or else you can ruin the beans. If you don't want to take that chance you can always just make the beans afterwards using this recipe: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/...4/m/5670069613

That is beautiful looking Mike, and probably tastes even better

Yesterday I threw a couple chicken breasts in Cuban mojo w/ oil to marinade, put them on the smoker this evening, and ran it more as a charcoal roaster / oven than a smoker (350F-ish) w/ no smoke wood. Right at the end, flipped them over above the coals to burn the skin a bit.

Chicken turned out really good, photos turned out like crap.

Black beans inspired by Clara's recipe and white rice on the side.

It's a good recipe, but the water and cook times / method Carlos originally posted were off, so the first time I made it, I ended up with soup. Really good soup. If you scan down the thread you'll see that Carlos made some corrections later on.

Beans in a pressure cooker can be kind of quirky too depending on a few factors including how long the dried beans have been sitting around (Alton Brown has a good explanation in one of his books). Since I'm no longer using the million year old bags from the supermarket, I've gone back to just cooking them in a pot.

Thanks for the heads up. I would have made soup too.
