In terms of the beans, I've used standard van camp beans and not the Bush bean's (I just copied the recipe from another site and I didn't see the footnote either on how to modify for Bush's beans). I can only speak to the "regular" cans of beans. I do know that this recipe generated hundreds of responses of people trying many, many modifications so you can't really hurt it. And, I love to smoke meats, but haven't tried it with smoked pork or beef. I have only browned a standard package of breakfast sausage and it was great. Lot's a room to play!
