Fired up the Weber in a way to replicate a camp cook or a fire pit situation.
In a two quart DO I boiled some beans.


Set them aside and heated some onions, celery, carrots, and some roasted Hatch peppers.


After a bit I added the seasonings and my home made tasso.
This is Kansas. If you want tasso you better learn to make it.


Then the no salt chicken broth and a couple of smoked neck bones. Also the lima beans go in for another swim.


The simmer time is nearing 4 hours when suddenly it came together. The meat from the neck bones was stripped from the bones and added to the soup.


So then I set up the camp DO on a lifted grate and cooked some cornbread.


Looks like it might be done.


And it was ready to serve.


It was a long way to go for a bowl of beans but dang sure worth every minute.

And thanks for lookin at my cookin.
 
When the food looks great, and the cooking method looks fun, well—- that’s a home run.
Strut the bases

Craig, I always seem to forget that availability is sometimes a regional obstacle.
Glad you have overcome your local scarcity.

Great job on preparing those beans in a more "traditional" style. I enjoy preparing meals using cast iron and wood coals. Friends and family have called me old school for keeping those skillsets current.
Just can't get the same flavor cooking in the house.
Well done Sir.
