Pour all of the ingredients except the bacon onto a cast iron pot or throw away aluminum foil pan. Do not strain the green beans, there needs to be enough water in the pan for them to cook properly and evenly.
Stir them all together - except for the bacon, unless you’ve already cooked it.
Lay the raw bacon across the top of the green bean mixture.
Smoke at 250 degrees for about two hours.
Tip - To prevent the green beans from becoming too dry, cover the pot or pan with foil for the first 90 minutes of smoking.
