Easy Smoked Green Beans

1.5 lbs Fresh Green Beans

Tbsp Olive Oil (regular, not extra virgin)

Tbsp Three LIttle Pigs BBQ Rub (or your favorite BBQ seasoning)

Tbsp Salted Butter

Lemon

Preheat

Light or turn on your smoker, grill or pellet grill and set up the temperature to 225°F. If using a grill, only light a medium amount of charcoal or light one or two burners on one side for indirect cooking

Wood

Add your wood chunks directly to the firebox of a smoker, or use chips in a smoker box, or pellets in a tube smoker or pellet grill.

Set up the Grill or Smoker

Wash

Give the green beans a good wash in a colander under cold running water and then dry them off with some paper towels on a cutting board.

Trim

Line the green beans all up by one end, about one handful at a time, and cut the tips of each green bean off with a good carving knife.

Repeat

Then line them up by the other ends and repeat on the other side.  Continue doing this until all the ends are cut off of each green bean.

Wash and Trim the Green Beans

Drizzle

Spread the trimmed green beans out in the cast iron pan and drizzle with the olive oil.

Season

Next sprinkle on some Three Little Pigs (or your favorite BBQ rub) and then toss with tongs to coat all the green beans in the oil and seasoning.

Butter

Cut the salted butter into small cubes and evenly distribute the butter on top of the seasoned green beans so that it can melt over them as they cook.

Season the Green Beans

Smoke

Once your grill or smoker is up to 225°F and making smoke, place the cast iron skillet inside.  Place it on the opposite side of the heat if using a grill so it is cooking indirectly.  Close the lid.

Rotate

Rotate and toss the green beans occasionally with tongs to cook evenly.

Finish

Smoke the green beans for roughly 45-60 minutes or until tender but not mushy.

Smoke the Green Beans

Remove

When the green beans appear done, remove the cast iron skillet from the grill or smoker.

Optionally drizzle with some fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Serve

Remove and Finish
