    Mrs. Taz,
    I don't know if this will post or not but I am going to give it a try. I asked for the same recipe from the after party and found out there were two bean recipes that weekend. Someone said it was Steve Raichlen's recipe so I copied it from his website and tried it with the brisket and only one jalapeno with hickory chips and it was great. I also put in one tablespoon of Dizzy Pig's Shakin the Tree.
    You will have to adapt the directions at the bottom because it was not done on the FANTASTIC BGE. He sure doesn't know what he missed by not getting the real smoke in it....fantastic! Hope you like it.[p]Best Barbecued Beans on the Planet
    BBQ U Season 3, Texas and Oklahoma Episode[p]Method: indirect grilling
    Serves: 12 to 16[p]1 pound smoked brisket or bacon cut into 1/4-inch slivers
    1 can (15 ounces) black beans
    1 can (15 ounces) dark red kidney beans
    3 cans (each 15 ounces) baked beans or pork and beans
    1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
    1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
    1 poblano pepper or green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    3 to 6 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced (for hotter beans, leave the seeds in)
    2 cups sweet red barbecue sauce (your favorite commercial brand)
    1-1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar, or more to taste
    1/2 cup Dijon mustard, or more to taste
    2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional; see Note)
    Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper [p]You’ll also need:[p]1 large (turkey-size) or 2 medium-size aluminum foil pans; 2 cups wood chips or chunks (preferably pecan or hickory) soaked for 1 hour in hot water to cover, then drained.[p]1. If using bacon instead of brisket, place it in a large skillet over medium heat and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour off all the bacon fat, saving a few tablespoons for the beans, if desired.[p]2. Empty the cans of black and kidney beans into a colander and drain. Rinse the beans under cold running water and drain again. Place all the beans (including the baked beans or pork and beans) in a large nonreactive mixing bowl and add the onion, bell and poblano peppers, garlic, and jalapenos and stir to mix. Add the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, mustard, liquid smoke, if using, and brisket or fried bacon and stir to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more brown sugar and/or mustard as necessary, and salt and black pepper to taste; the beans should be very flavorful. Transfer the bean mixture to the aluminum foil pan or pans. (If you used bacon, you can drizzle a few tablespoons of bacon fat over the beans for extra flavor.)[p]3. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium-low. If using a gas grill, place all of the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium-low. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium-low, then toss all of the wood chips or chunks on the coals.[p]4. When ready to cook, place the pan of beans in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat, and cover the grill. Cook the beans until they are thick and richly flavored, about 1 hour. If the beans start to dry out, cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Remove the beans from the grill and let them rest for 15 minutes, then serve.[p]Note: If you cook the beans in a gas grill, you probably won’t be able to generate enough smoke for a strong wood flavor. Add the liquid smoke in this case. [p]
