What pellets should you use for Smoked Baked Beans?

Any pellets can be used to make this recipe. We almost always use a variety of pellets with a combination pack.

A few that are great to choose from are hickory or apple wood pellets.

Do you have to use bacon in Smoked Baked Beans?

If you are smoking brisket or pulled pork, you can always use some of that smoked brisket or pulled pork in the beans instead of bacon.

Those make great substitutions for the bacon if you do not want to cook bacon.

Tips for Making Smoked Baked Beans:

These beans need to be made in a heavy pot. We typically use a cast-iron skillet or you can also use a Cast Iron Dutch Oven, which is my personal favorite.

Once your beans are prepared and ready to smoke, they will smoke for about 2 hours but do need to be stirred occasionally during cooking time.

We usually will put these on at the end of smoking meats that way they are a great side and ready when the meat is also ready.

Since the heat from the smoker can vary at times, as they cook, if they look too dry then you will want to add in about 1/2 cup of water or you can even use beer.

This will add some liquid to the beans so that they are not too thick.

This recipe will use a combination of beans, which gives the final dish a great presentation too!

Now, are you ready for this easy side dish?
