BBQ Joe Miles' Famous Barbecue Bean Recipe

The many CBBQA members who attend BBQ contests and Q-Fests are very familiar with Joe Mile's barbecue beans. We twisted Joe's arm long enough that he finally parted with his recipe. Thanks Joe, for the recipe and all the great tri-tip and garlic bread grilling you've done for the CBBQA events. Our hats are off to you.
