I am thinking of trying out Jeff Phillip's smoked meatballs.  I wanted to do them last weekend for my daughter's 10th birthday, but she wanted ribs.  Go figure.

My daughter is 10 and also loves ribs. She is the reason i bought a smoker.

I will be making ribs for super sunday.

OMG - What IS that? It looks so good.  And you have the pink ring around the meat - is that rib meat chopped up?  Regular can of beans or ????

These are my smoked beans.  Because they require frequent door opening, I do them in my gas smoker.  I buy an inexpensive cut of pork and put it on the rack above the beans so that the drippings can go into the beans.  I then chop that piece of meat fine and add it to the beans as a garnish.

Dave’s Smoked Beans
2 – 28 oz. Cans of Bush Original Baked Beans
1 lbs. Jimmy Dean “Hot Sausage” (Any flavor if you don’t like hot)
1 lbs. Hamburger
½ Diced Onion
½ Cup Diced Bell Pepper (Any Color, I like the Red or Orange for Color)
½ Cup Brown Sugar
½ Cup Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp. Molasses
2 hot peppers, minced

Brown sausage and hamburger, drain excess grease.
Drain beans and add all ingredients to a large foil roasting pan.
Put roasting pan in the smoker on a grate under the meat for drippings.
Lighting stir beans about every 20 – 30 minutes to incorporate smoke flavor.
Try to pull beans off the smoker after an hour and a half to 2 hours to prevent beans from going to mush.

That recipe sounds awesome! You should post that in the Appetizers and Side Dishes recipe section.

Those beans sound terrific Dave. Lots of sweetness for sure.

I will be bringing 2 racks of Baby-Backs and 10 pounds of Rib Tips.

Real windy, cold and rainy here today.  I was planning on smoking 3 racks of baby backs, but opted for a big batch of homemade chili instead!  Just wasn't into dealing with the elements today.

We just got about a foot of snow here between yesterday and today. I dug the SI2 out of the snow but that is it so far. I did buy a double pack of Boston Butt's from Sam's club yesterday. Trying to figure out if I want to try doing them both at the same time or do one and freeze the other uncooked. Either way it's a lot of meat so I'll be freezing some. Preferences or thoughts on freezing cooked or uncooked?

I also haven't figured out what' I'm going to do for prepping the Butt's yet. Maybe I'll get a little crazy and invent a rub with whatever looks good from my pantry and spice cabinet.

 

[DivotMaker]

Good for you, Tony!  I'm not as brave as you today - feeling a little under the weather, so I wimped-out.

Go ahead and smoke what you have, then vacuum-seal what you plan to freeze while it's still hot (or wrap tight in plastic, if you don't have a vacuum sealer).  Smoked pork butt reheats very well!

 

[NDKoze]

I have done both 2 at a time and freezing one and smoking the other.

Most recently, I froze one because I have a new rub that I want to try and wasn't ready to smoke it yet.

I do love having vacuum sealed pulled pork in the freezer ready to reheat all the time though.
