Beans in a WSM?

[MarkD]

Looking for ideas on making beans while doing a brisket. Any suggestions? They have to be gluten free.

Hey Mark,

Have you seen the bean page on the main site? Bunch of great ideas there. I get lots of request for the KY Bourbon. I have used cola instead of the bourbon with great results. That said I dont know if cola is gluten free or not.

Thanks! Bourbon isn't gluten free. Might try the cola.

Those KY Bourbon beans are outstanding!!! I haven't put any bourbon in them yet...have to work on that.

[MarkD]

Thanks. We were looking at that recipie.

I'll second what you said PaulstheRibList. This is an excellent recipe. I've only used pulled pork as the meat (maybe 1/2 cup) and the only complaint was that I need do double the pork the next time.

[PaulstheRibList]

Yes, fuzzydaddy, I'm with you on more meat in the beans! One grocery store has Picnic's on sale for $.59 a pound...maybe I should get some to smoke just to put in the beans!

Pretty sure whiskey is ok if the reason for gluten free is celiac. My sister has it and can drink whiskey just fine.

Here is a source.

Thanks _John_ ! Will see what my gf says. She's not celiac but has a gluten allergy.

My son has a gluten allergy and just has to avoid foods with wheat. If he eats it he becomes cra cra! He's only 10 and has so far managed to stay away from the bourbon. Celiac Disease is much more serious and can make those afflicted very sick when consuming gluten-based foods.
