Shuley Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 After a lovely 17 day vacation with my family to Hawaii I am looking forward to cooking on my koko kamado again :). So I'm going to do a butt with homemade baked beans for the first time tomorrow and want to position the beans to capture the drippings from the pork. My question maybe stupid, but I'm wondering if it would be best to have the butt on the top rack and the beans on the main grate or the butt on the main grate and the beans on the lower grate? Thanks.
tinyfish Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Welcome back. I would think the butt on the top rack and beans on the main grate. This will give the beans some separation from the charcoal. 1
ckreef Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Yup I agree too. Also don't put the beans on immediately. Use a foil drip pan initially then swap it out for the beans when it's time. Should be able to do all that without removing the upper grate/butt. Reef's Bistro
