I had big plans on cooking up a batch of beans on the WSM but again a massive downpour has forced me back into the kitchen!!!

I used 1Kg of dried beans (soaked overnight and then boiled/simmered for 80mins), I thought I'd try something new and went with a mixture of Black Eyed, Alubia, Red Kidney, Dutch Brown, Baby Lima, Butter, Flageolet, Black Turtle & Pinto and just to rock the boat I threw in some Green and Yellow Split Peas.

Mixed with the ingredients in the photo (Ketchup, Molasses Cane Sugar, liquid molasses, Beer (Asahi), Pulled Pork, cubed Smoked Pork Loin, dijion mustard, chopped onion, Blairs chilli sauce, crushed garlic, diced red peppers and some liqour from the soaked beans) and cooked on stove for 2 hours - 5 litres of beans!!!

I did pop a little liquid smoke in there to entensify the smoke flavour.

Magic!

Killer or should I say 'cool' beans Carbon Toe. Japanese beer huh? What's with the molasses cane sugar. Never seen it before.

Thanks for all your support, I sometimes feel that I'm fumbling along and it's great to be able to get support from like minded people. It's a pitty that we have a big lake between us as I would learn far faster and would be producing far better food if only you could look over my shoulder and tut!!!!! :lol:

You can tell that they weren't cooked on the smoker but the meat added a nice smokey taste that the liquid smoke lifts.

I've halved the sugar I normally use and have switched to Molasses Cane sugar which gives a deeper nutty taste. I also cut down on the Chilli sauce as my other half said the last batch were far too hot!!

I think I over did the meat as the meat/beans ratio ended up being 50/50 opppps!!! Oh well, a full meal in a bowl as they say!!! :razz:
