Add drained beans and the rest of the ingredients (except cooked bacon). Stir to combine. Bring to a boil then carefully transfer to a medium sized disposable aluminum pan. Place pan, uncovered, directly on smoker grates. Smoke for about 3 hours, stirring beans every 30 minutes. During the last hour of cooking add ¼ - ½ cup of water to moisten the beans (these beans are meant to be thick and savory, without a lot of liquid). Stir in crispy bacon bits just before serving the beans.
