Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 250°F. I like to use pecan or cherry wood for this one.

Step 2

Cut the bacon crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces. Cook bacon in a large skillet (cast iron) or Dutch oven over medium heat until rendered and crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and set aside. Leave bacon fat in pan.

Step 3

Add onions to pan and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeño and stir for a minute.

Step 4

Add drained beans, BBQ sauce, vinegar, molasses, tomato paste, mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring to a boil. Carefully transfer to smoker and bake 3 hours uncovered, until liquid thickens and beans are glazed. Stir occasionally if desired (See Note 2). Add cooked bacon, stir through and serve.
