View attachment 371285
Ingredients
4 cups dry pinto beans
1 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces
2 whole green bell peppers, diced (red bell)
1 whole onion, diced
1 cup brown sugar (1/4 cup)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons mustard

( ) indicates my mods
Directions
Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks/particles. Set aside.
In a heavy pot (cast iron), saute the bacon pieces until halfway cooked and the fat is rendered. Add the green peppers and onions to the pot and cook until starting to get brown, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and then add the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, chili powder, salt, pepper and garlic. Reduce the heat to a simmer, place on the lid and cook until the beans are tender and the liquid is thick 3 to 4 hours
Yep, do one at a time. Worcestershire can over-power the dish, but I do like the flavor.Sounds awesome DD!
It would be hard to resist dropping in a couple of Tbsp of Worcestershire too.

I tell everyone I know if they or their friends need a fruit tree removed or have branches the pruned off I'll come get them.I'll run smoke for no more than the first 3 hours.....usually more like 2+ hours
Ribs do not need much smoke at all.
Some folks can almost get sick from too much of the wrong kid of smoke.
I got sick on Alder-smoked smelt once. Epic blowout
Oddly enough, I like hickory on fish and pork ribs.
Hickory is my favorite.
Cherry is a good all-purpose.....apple as well.
Pecan or Mesquite I like for beef.
Western brand smokewood can be had at Walton's Market for reasonable cost.
Local hardwoods are as always, free.
Fruitwoods, alder and vine maple.
My pellet stove gets up to 650. And fairly fast. Only 1 unit needed at my place.Weber and a Traeger and you are set.
They both serve their purposes
Oregon Ash and/or oak for your open flame cooking.I tell everyone I know if they or their friends need a fruit tree removed or have branches the pruned off I'll come get them.
And my hunting buddy called today to ask what I needed from Wa and I said more alder or fruit wood,lol
Can't order that from amazon,or can you?
All depends on what kind of cooking you do.My pellet stove gets up to 650. And fairly fast. Only 1 unit needed at my place.
