Certainly not traditional ham and beans, but I get the mixed bag of beans and use this stuff with any type of pork product on hand really. Ham, leftover pulled pork, bacon...diced jalapeno or pablano.

Emergency room Hot!
I got the ribs cheap and bought on a sale as a weekly protein special at Aldi . They were fresh, not frozen, not enhanced or pumped and were really lean compared to what I was used to getting from Kroger and Wally's. I have 4 more slabs in the freezer. I am not an Aldi kind of shopper but I'll try their meat again.
my smoker is a cheap offset with a couple mods to help the cook, not me, the meats. :-)
i didn't take any pics of this one, and i actually didn't roll it like i planned.
i did though take a sample to my boss who is a chef by trade and he loved it, so it couldn't have been too bad (no one here does low and slow cooking, so it's an extremely new flavor for them).
toying with converting our now broken fridge to a smoker though. i lose so much heat on the cheap thin metal smoker. [Reply]

I will try again, most of this companies stuff is good but salt is major ingredient. in this it's dried veggies then salt.... [Reply]

I had an New Braunfels I got at Sam's 20 years ago for Christmas and after the firebox rusted out I bought a firebox for $30 from Kroger when In Ohio for Mid Ohio Le-mans. I then made a heat defuser and smoker bottom grates that converted it into a reverse offset that took a lot of fuel but worked great. Did my best smokes on it. Heated by charcoal and locust and almost always apple and cherry for smoke.
As far as holding heat better...Don't laugh too fast.

I'd never laugh, these are the sort of experiments that lead to putting men on the moon! [Reply]
