I'm thinking of smoking them couple of hours and then make baked beans with them

They would work well like that. I have used them before to flavor items like I would with any other smoked pork product (sausage, tasso, etc..) You will want to be careful eating because they do have some cartilage in them. Also you don't want to cook down to the point they are falling all apart as then you will have the loose bits in your dish.
