Chili Time! Part 1

[monty55]

Had a cold front blow in yesterday... time for CHILI! This is a third generation Texas Chili recipe from my family. With each generation tweaking it a bit. Enjoy

Let's fire up the Cookin Kettle!


Nothin but red oak will do for this chili!


Chuck Roast!


Everything needed for this chili


Let's put some fire on that meat!




Gotta char the edges!




Let her rest!


Slice it, then cube it


Meanwhile, lets roast some peppers!


Assemble the makin's!


Put the second ring on so we can smoke this chili low and slow... without the lid


Put some ceramic plates underneath... we want indirect heat!


Let's make some Jalapeno corn bread in a cast iron skillet!


Let's check on the chili...
well hell, can only attach 15 files... see part 2 for the finale!

Actually both. Our original recipe calls for two cans of beef stock. I've changed that to one can of beef stock and 1 dosxx amber. But, I also enjoy drinking one with the meal

No, dark beer imparts a bitter taste to the chili. Through trial and error, I've found dosxx amber produces all the right notes.
