in the smoker today are two racks of baby back ribs, two racks of beef short ribs, and some slab cut dino beef ribs. fix'ns will be cowboy bean (baked beans w/both ground chuck, ground venison, and smoked sausage sliced in it, seasoned obviously)- quartered 'taters seasoned and baked in butter in the smokers oven- which makes the outside crispy and the inside very soft- and some rye marbled sourdough bread from the bakery (i'd never attempt such a thing on my own) ... 

stand by for pics later- got the smoker to temp around 10am and dropped in the goodies about 1130 or so. it'll be six or so tonight- except for the short ribs- they'll be a snack around game time (4pm).

I've been using the Instapot for beans lately. Beans, onion, garlic, seasonings, and some sort of pork - an hour cooking and some great eats.

Sounds good... I assume this is cooked under pressure, not as a slow cooker, right? Beans straight from raw?
And when you say "some sort of pork", are you talking like a bacon or pancetta as flavoring/fat, or are you talking about some big piece of pork that becomes its own part of the dish?

Yes, dry beans straight into the instant pot with no soaking.  And both, really, I used some smoke sausage, which more or less disintegrates after that long, so on another batch I cooked the beans then put the sausage in for five minutes, which flavored the dish without destroying it.  Yesterday I used a package of smokes ham hocks which was on sale at Kroger.  I've just been using water for the liquid.

Are you talking about stuff like Heinz chili sauce? 

if so, what do you use it for?  The only thing I've ever used it for is this one old recipe for an appetizer that uses lil smokies or meatballs simmered in a sauce that includes that Heinz chili sauce, some currant jelly, lemon juice, a couple tablespoons of yellow mustard, and pineapples.

I'll admit, I don't think I've ever used Heinz Chili Sauce for anything but a sauce for slow cooked meatballs or smokies.  We must have similar recipes.

Yup, I've seen variations of it over the years, from several different regions across the country.  Mine is a recipe that my mom used a lot back in the 70s/80s when entertaining at cocktail parties.

I'm not sure I've ever had Heinz chili sauce, but I suppose that qualifies.  Sriracha, New Mexico green or red, the stuff covering the meat in Texas chili, basically any sauce made primarily with chili peppers.

I've used that sauce as an ingredient for cocktail sauce. It has a sweetness to it that balances the horseradish and cayenne heat. I can't imagine using it solo though.

I do not like the sweeter versions.  I hate the Rooster sriracha that was everywhere for a while.  But ones that are more vinegary or garlicky, I'm a fan.

Ah, well in that case, for sure.  I make sauces from dried chile peppers all the time.  Texas Red chili, of course.  And also the enchilada gravy I make from scratch for my enchiladas.  
Both basically start off by reconstituting the dried chile peppers.  And then adding the appropriate spices/fats/meats to make either the gravy or the chili.
The Heinz chili sauce is something else entirely, way more tomato-y. Like badge said, it's more like a base for shrimp cocktail sauce (I've never used it that way but that's a great idea, my cocktail sauce starts off with ketchup).
