I'm all over this, I'll have to tame it down cause the wife is a wimp (had to put that in cause she over my shoulder right now) yep just got popped on the head lol!!!
 
Ok.....I tried this recipe and it is a hit.  I did add some bell peppers from the garden and a can of tomato sauce to keep the chunky/broth ratio in check.  The bittersweet chocolate does make a rich darker broth and seems to cut the acidity.  It's a well balanced not so hot chili with great smoky flavors.  Thanks for the recipe Bluto.

Very cool, glad that you tried it, and I'll bet the bell pepper was a nice addition, I might actually try that myself next time.

No Bells in our Chili. We usually go with cubanelles or banana. Bells seem to talk back to us too much. We do have to add a small piece of Dove's Dark chocolate, doesn't have to be bittersweet.

Going to try this for the weekend, have some venison, long horn, and will add some sweet Italian sausage. I will be going with some added SPICE for the hotter BITE. Will post how it turns out
 
Your recipe really looks good, you have any idea how much it yielded? Might make some for a group this weekend...thanks...JB

Hey RingTail, I made it again this past weekend and it yielded right at 3 quarts + a sample bowl.

That sounds great kersingm, I wish I had some venison, may be time to call in some favors... :-)
 
no beans?

HA, no, no beans in this one. I actually make and sell a chili mix packet based on this recipe using just ground meats, makes it much more affordable to make, and we make it often, in that one I do occasionally use beans, but not in this original recipe.

Im goimg to try it tomorrow, i went and bought that jerky pan today from cabelas a little pricey though but i was wondering could you mix the three kinds of meat into a pan and smoke it that way or is it better to seperate it.

You can mix it, however by separating it you get better smoke penetration to the individual pieces of meat. I have found that by using the racks you definitely get better smoke than what's down in the pan. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
 
I have a question about how you smoke the meat with the ground beef in the bottom tray and the pork and beef above it.
What about the cross contamination of having the raw meats cooking together?

Hey kerstingm, great question, however all of the meats will be cooked together well into the safety zone for quite a while, so cross-contamination is not a concern.
 
Thanks for the info... I have a new Traeger pellet grill I cannot wait to try this on. I'm actually considering cooking everything on it....
