I was wondering if placing Beans under Pork,Brisket or Chicken to catch there drippings is OK! I've seen it done but I was wondering if the beans do not rise above a certain temperature is it possible they could get you sick?

The few times I've done this after smoking I've placed the beans in a pot and simmered them on the stove for 10 minutes or so to kill any possible bacteria. Is this necessary?

Thanks for all the information you shared with us this pass week and I hope to take another class in the very near future.

I like to cook beans on a disposable foil pan under my ribs. The beans bubble and have exceeded 200 degrees so they are safe to eat. Simmering on the stove if you're unsure is a good idea. Chicken bacteria is killed above 165 so that is the minimum temp I would go.
