Place beans in large Dutch oven, cover with additional water, add in salt pork, cover and cook over bed of very warm coals. Kindling may need to be added to coals to start beans boiling. After beans start to boil, cook beans covered over low to medium warm coals. When beans are soft, add in salt and pepper to taste, cover and let simmer till ready to serve.
