How to Make Smoked Baked Beans

After preheating your smoker and choosing your favorite wood, you simply combine the ingredients in a pan. I prefer to use a cast iron pan.

But, you can also use a Dutch Oven if you want to. Or, if you are cooking for a crowd, you can use a disposable aluminum pan.

Place your pan in the smoker and cook for about three hours. You will stir every hour and cook until the sauce has thickened and the beans are cooked.

If you're new to smoker recipes, this smoked baked beans recipe is a simple dish to get started with.

How can I make this without a smoker?

This recipe can be prepared in a slow cooker but will not have that smoked flavor. Cook it on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours. 

You can bake this recipe in the oven but it will not have that smoked flavor. Bake it at 400°F for 55-60 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Frequently asked questions

What beans are used in baked beans?

Baked beans are usually made from haricot beans. Another name for haricot beans is navy beans. You can find them either dried or in a can at the grocery store.

Can I use homemade baked beans?

This recipe starts with two cans of already prepared baked beans. If you would prefer to make baked beans from scratch, you can do that as well.

Just be careful what seasonings you use so that they do not overwhelm the smoke flavor.

How long does it take to smoke beans?

This smoked baked beans recipe takes about three hours to make in your smoker. You will need to check it every hour.

The exact time you need really depends on the type of smoker you have. The baked beans are done when the sauce has thickened and the beans are heated all the way through.

What type of bacon do I add to baked beans?

I prefer my bacon to be cooked but not crispy. To bake bacon: lay slices of bacon on a foil-lined baking pan. 

Place the pan in the cold oven, turn the heat to 400°F and bake for 8-10 minutes. 

The length of time will vary based on the thickness of your bacon (thick-cut takes longer). Chop up the cooked bacon and refrigerate until ready to use.

What you need to make Smoked Baked Beans

What about leftovers?

We eat these so quickly that we very rarely have any leftovers to store. But, you can put them in the refrigerator for another day if you do.

Store your smoked baked beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. If you would prefer to freeze them, you can do that as well.

To freeze baked beans, let the beans come to room temperature. Then, transfer them to an airtight container.

They will keep for 2-3 months.

To reheat your baked beans, just heat them in a pan on the stove until they are warmed through.

Or, you can heat them in the microwave. They are just as delicious the following day as the first time.

Smoked Baked Potato + Video

Making a smoked baked potato is one of the easiest smoker recipes around! This recipe is a must-make; you'll love the flavor of smoked potatoes!

 is one of the easiest smoker recipes around Smoked Baked Potato + Video
Baked potatoes are one of the most versatile meals I've found because there are so many different ways to cook them.

And, the topping ideas are almost endless. And, I have just learned how to make the most wonderful baked potato in the smoker.

Have you had a chance to try my other smoker recipes? My smoked baked beans were our first smoker recipe.

These tender beans with bacon are the perfect side dish!  Smoked chicken quarters are juicy and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside.

Temperature and time for a smoked baked potato

When it comes to making smoked potatoes, time and temperature are the most important things to consider.

Of course, there will be slight variations depending on the type of smoker you have and the size of your potatoes.

But, for the most part, you will want to set your smoker to 375F. It will take about 15 minutes to preheat.

After it preheats, you should cook the potatoes for about an hour. Test them by sticking a fork in them. If the fork goes in easily, it is done.

Remember that a larger potato will take longer to cook.

If you prefer to let your baked potato smoke for longer than an hour, you can lower the temperature.

Just set your smoker to 225F.  Then, cook the potatoes for 2 to 3 hours at the lower temperature. Remember to check them to be sure they are done and not overcooked.

One of the best things about making smoked baked potatoes is that you can cook them along with whatever else you have in the smoker.

So, if you are making my smoked chicken quarters, just add the potatoes in the smoker.

Just remember that you will need to time them so that they are both done at the same time.  Adjust the temperature and cooking time accordingly.

 is one of the easiest smoker recipes around Smoked Baked Potato + Video

What type of potatoes to use 

I am smoking russet potatoes. They are an all-purpose potato that is often chosen for baking. But, that doesn't mean that you can't use another type of potato.

Smoked red potatoes would work as well. When choosing, be sure that all of the potatoes are a uniform size.

This way they will all be done at the time time.

 is one of the easiest smoker recipes around Smoked Baked Potato + Video

Tools needed 

This is a quick and easy side dish that only needs a few simple tools.
  • Smoker - I have love my pellet smoker (Traeger and Green Mountain Grills are both great)
  • Your favorite wood chips - I love this blend and use it for just about everything

Choosing the right wood chips

Experimenting with different types of wood chips is part of the fun of using a smoker.

The type of wood chip you use will really make a difference in the flavor of your smoked baked potato.

I am using my favorite blend of oak, maple, and hickory on my pellet smoker.

But, you can experiment with apple, cherry, mesquite, or whatever other flavors you enjoy smoking with.

Applewood smoked potatoes sound absolutely amazing. I'll need to try that next.

 is one of the easiest smoker recipes around Smoked Baked Potato + Video

Preparing the potatoes for smoking 

The potatoes don't need a lot of preparation when you are making smoked baked potatoes.

Just place the potatoes on a sheet, tray or work surface and use a fork to pierce the skin all over.

Then, coat them in the olive oil and rub the salt all over the potatoes. You do not need to cook the potatoes before you add them to the smoker.

 is one of the easiest smoker recipes around Smoked Baked Potato + Video

Should the potatoes be wrapped in foil? 

When it comes to making baked potatoes, so many people want to wrap them in foil. When you make smoked baked potatoes, you don't need to wrap them in foil.

This way, the smoke leaves a wonderful flavor in the potato. Wrapping them in foil will prevent the full flavor from developing.

But, if you are worried about the clean up afterward, you can wrap them in foil to make it easier. But, it's not necessary.

Enjoy!

Smoked Chicken Quarters + Video

Smoked chicken quarters are juicy and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside. Make this smoker recipe using any type of smoker!

 are juicy and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside Smoked Chicken Quarters + Video

Cooking smoked chicken leg quarters in your smoker is such an easy thing to do. I am really enjoying using my smoker more this summer.

The final result is a delicious smoked flavor that just cannot be beaten.

Have you had a chance to try any of my other smoker recipes? These smoked baked beans with bacon are the perfect side dish and can be made with any smoker.

 are juicy and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside Smoked Chicken Quarters + Video 

Recipe Tips for Smoked Chicken Quarters

For even more flavor, sear the chicken leg quarters in butter before you place them in the smoker. The final result will be richer and will result in a darker color.

Always let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes when you remove it from the smoker. This lets the juices settle evenly in the meat.

The result is tender, juicy chicken. Remember that the internal temperature will continue to go up 10 to 15 degrees as it rests.

Perfect serving suggestions for these smoked chicken quarters include my Ranch Mashed Potato Salad which is the perfect easy summer side dish.

Or, my Best Ever Southern Style Potato Salad is a rich and creamy summer salad that tastes like home to me.

And, these Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorite ways to enjoy Brussels sprouts.

If you want more grilling recipes for your chicken, you might want to try my Garlic Beer Grilled Chicken. It uses a simple marinade with fresh ingredients.

Or, this Grilled Margarita Chicken has a fantastic flavor with subtle hints of sweetness and a little kick from the jalapeno.

How to measure internal temperature of chicken pieces

To check the internal temperature of smoked chicken quarters, put the tip of the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.

But, be sure that the thermometer doesn't touch the bone. Then, look at the display to see the lowest number that it reads.

That number is the internal temperature of your chicken.

The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 165°F for all chicken and poultry to be done.

However, for extra tender fall off the bone chicken quarters, let them cook until the internal temperature reaches 180°-190°F.

It's definitely worth a few extra minutes for the end result.

Tools needed

You will need the following to make this recipe.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does it take to smoke chicken leg quarters? 

The length of time it takes to make this smoked chicken recipe will depend on the temperature your smoker is set to.

  • At 225°F degrees, you should smoke the chicken leg quarters for four hours.
  • If smoking at 275°F, you will need to cook your chicken for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • At 300°F, you should smoke the chicken leg quarters for one hour and 45 minutes.

What type of wood chips are best for smoked chicken? 

The type of wood chips you use will contribute to the flavor of your smoked chicken quarters. It's important to keep that in mind when making your choice.

Using a fruit wood like apple, cherry or peach will give your chicken a slightly sweet, fruity taste.

For a true southern barbecue taste, opt for hickory which is traditional for smoking. Or, maple results in a mild, sweet flavor that's popular as well.

Finally, if you enjoy a strong, smoky flavor when you smoke meats, you can use mesquite. Using mesquite will result in the strongest flavor when smoking.

My personal preference is to use a more subtle wood like apple when smoking chicken. Experiment to see which flavor is your favorite.

Is it necessary to marinate the chicken? 

No, you don't need to marinate the chicken when you make smoked chicken quarters. I use a seasoning rub that you will work into the skin.

The result is a smoky, sweet flavor that is absolutely delicious.

If you would prefer to marinate your chicken instead of using this rub, you can do that as well.

Just place the chicken in a dish, add your favorite marinade, and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the whole thing sit overnight in the refrigerator before smoking.

Enjoy!

What You'll Need for Smoked Corn on the Cob

Of course, you will need your smoker and your favorite flavor of wood chips to make this recipe. You will also need a large pot of water to soak the corn in. This prevents the corn from drying out.

What type of wood chips are best for smoking corn?

Any flavor of wood chips will work well with this recipe. But, applewood smoke is a nice pairing with chicken.

Other options include peach, cherry, hickory, mesquite, and maple.

Remember to try a variety of different types because when you smoke foods, they take on the flavor of the wood chips you use.

 Put away the Instant Pot and make this smoker recipe Smoked Corn on the Cob + Video

Should the husks be removed or left on?

I gently pull back the husks and carefully remove the silk when I'm preparing this recipe. Then, I fold the husks back over the corn to cover them before placing the cobs in the smoker.

You don't have to cover the corn with the husks if you don't want to. Another option is to fold the husks back and tie them with twine to make a handle.

Or, you can remove the husks completely before you put them in the smoker. It will have a beautiful golden color that's infused with the flavor of your wood chips.

Does the corn need to be washed or soaked?

I like to soak the ears for at least an hour and preferably overnight before I place it in the smoker. This helps prevent your kernels from drying out while it's smoking.

You don't need to wash the corn before you prepare it. But, you certainly can if you want to.

 Put away the Instant Pot and make this smoker recipe Smoked Corn on the Cob + Video

How can I store leftovers?

If you have leftovers, you can simply wrap them in foil and place them in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to five days that way.

Or, if you want to freeze your leftovers so that they last longer, you can do that as well. Wrap them in foil first and label them with a marker.

You can keep them for up to four months this way. When it's time to reheat them, just let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Then, when you want to reheat your corn, unwrap the corn and add a teaspoon of water along with some salt and pepper. Wrap it back up and reheat it at 350F for five to seven minutes.

Serving suggestions

I use simple seasonings of butter, kosher salt and pepper on our corn. But, you can add additional seasonings or even dried herbs to the butter mixture to make it your own!

There are plenty of other seasoning possibilities too. Here a few ideas:
  • parmesan cheese
  • dried red pepper flakes

Tips for Making Smoked Meatloaf

Making my smoked meatloaf recipe is fairly simple.

But, if you want a few pro tips for the best ever meatloaf recipe, here are a few to keep in mind.

Don't forget to check out the video to see us make this meat loaf recipe.

  • Choose meat with a fairly high fat content. If you choose meat that is too low fat, your meatloaf will be dry. The fat content should be at least 15%.

  • Make sure that you add moisture in each step of the recipe process. That can include eggs, my BBQ sauce, or Worcestershire sauce. For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of milk.

  • Soak the breadcrumbs in the egg mixture before you add it to the ground beef. You won't believe how much of a difference this makes in this smoked meatloaf recipe.
  • Saute the vegetables before adding them. This does help to add moisture to your meatloaf recipe. And, it helps infuse the meatloaf with flavor.

  • Don't overmix it. You only need to combine the ingredients until they are well distributed. Too much mixing will make it dry.

 is better than any other meat loaf you may have eaten Smoked Meatloaf + Video Tutorial


Temperature to cook meatloaf in a smoker

If you're wondering about the temperature to cook meatloaf, it can vary based on the recipe.

When making my smoked meatloaf recipe, you will need to preheat your smoker to 225F. That will result in the best flavor and texture for your meatloaf.

Don't overcook it. You don't want your meatloaf to be dry.

Frequently asked questions

What flavor wood chips to use 

Choose your favorite wood, I am using my favorite blend of oak, maple, and hickory on my pellet smoker.

But, you can always try applewood if you prefer. This smoked meatloaf recipe will taste good no matter what type of wood chips you use.

Meatloaf internal temperature 

The correct meatloaf internal temp is 160F. It's very important to use a meat thermometer to check when your meat is done.

The USDA recommends cooking all ground meat to an internal temperature of 160F. Just place the thermometer in the center of your loaf.

 is better than any other meat loaf you may have eaten Smoked Meatloaf + Video Tutorial

Alternate proteins

If you'd prefer not to use ground beef, you can use another type of ground meat. Chicken, turkey, pork, and venison are all good options.

Keep in mind that ground meats that are lower in fat content may be drier than if you used ground beef. So, you may want to use half and half instead.

How can I store leftovers? 

If you have leftovers, place the smoked meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for 3 to 5 days tightly covered.

Or, if you want to keep them for a longer period of time, place slices in a freezer bag. You can keep the frozen meatloaf for up to six months this way.

To reheat it, let it thaw in the refrigerator. Then, heat the oven to 250F. Place the meatloaf slices in a baking dish along with one tablespoon of water.

Cover the dish with foil and heat for 30 minutes. You can add more barbecue sauce to the top if you prefer as well.

Smoked Meatloaf

Smoked Meatloaf is better than any other meat loaf you may have eaten. It's juicy on the inside with a crispy exterior and a sweet and smoky flavor.
Prep time: 10 MCook time: 3 hourTotal time: 3 H & 10 M

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil (or light flavored oil)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 chiles in adobo, chopped (NOT WHOLE CANS)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup TSRI’s signature bbq sauce (or bbq sauce of your choice), divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the smoker to 225°F. Choose your favorite wood, I am using my favorite blend of oak, maple and hickory on my pellet smoker.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium-low heat saute the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Cooking at low temp helps to release the sugar in the onions so don’t crank up that temp. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl combine the ground beef, chiles in adobo, eggs, worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, ¼ cup of the bbq sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine. Add in the cooled onion and peppers and mix to combine, do not over mix, just until everything is incorporated.
  4. In a 9x13 foil container or container of your choice, form the mixture into a loaf.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and ¼ cup of bbq sauce to a small bowl and mix to combine. Brush half of the glaze all over the meatloaf.
  6. Smoke for 2-3 hours, basting with the remaining glaze after an hour and a half. Meatloaf is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
DONNA'S NOTES
  1. The correct meatloaf internal temp is 160F. It's very important to use a meat thermometer to check when your meat is done.

    The USDA recommends cooking all ground meat to an internal temperature of 160F. Just place the thermometer in the center of your loaf.
