Got 2 uncut racks of side ribs in the fridge and am going out shortly for some Bush's beans and some stuff to Tex them up. I will update with photos as I go. I will be hanging my ribs via a Weber hanging rack and using a 2nd middle section so I can leave my ribs long and still have a rack for them beans.

EDIT:

My rub consists of salt, pepper, granulated garlic, ground down dehydrated onion, mango chipolte powder, roasted garlic habanero powder, roasted cumin, regular paprika, smoked sweet paprika, smoked hot paprika and a little Byrons Butt Rub. I grind the pepper and onion chunks in a tall mortar and pestle then put everything together in a broad Bali mortar and pestle to grind everything together:

Rib slabs were cut into a chine bone strip and a proper rib strip. Membrane, flap and excess fat were removed from the rib strip and everything was coated in a thin layer of grapeseed oil - I normally use light olive oil but had none. This grapeseed oil is very light so I think it will do. All edges were also coated in the rub:

My beans are made up and in the fridge with the ribs....ribs I leave for a couple hours before smoking. I crisp my bacon bits then toss in a pot. Onion and sweet peppers are cooked till soft in the bacon fat then added to the pot. Three cans of Bush's beans and can of pinnaple chunks along with some bbq sauce and granulated garlic are added to taste:

Somewhere along the way the beans will need some additional moisture...be it water, beer or pinnaple juice left in the can.

Gonna put a pan underneath the ribs for the beans to be added in about an hour or so. I am running white oak and some rum oak cask pieces....smelling sweet it is. Ribs will be foiled and at that point they will move to 2 kettles. The third kettle will be used to cook some chicken thighs for the wife and child....who will not eat my ribs. More for the cook I say.

Love the red, white & blue coolers! ;)

Your first picture of the spices with the mortar & pestle setup is priceless; well done.
 
It is a little over an hour in and the bark on the ribs has formed. I put the pan in under the ribs then added the beans as well as adding some boiled water to the water pan in the lower section of the WSM. I am spritzing the ribs with a mix of hot water and worcestershire sauce.

Love this shot:

I am stirring the beans and spritzing ever 15 minutes or so.
 
Oh those beans will have some awesome flavor with all the drippings from those ribs. Wish I had a bowl of those right now.

Been doing this style of beans with the pinnapple now for almost 2 years and made grown men swear by and about them. Lookin' like a good batch so far. I have yet to taste any. Wait till you see how I finish these babies.....the chine bone strips will play a part.
 
Ribs after 3 hours or so in the smoker and ready to foil:

Most of this was pull of the bone, moist and pretty juicy on some bones:
