I guess a lot would depend on what is in the chili.  Are the vege's already cooked or sauteed, or is there meats or beans that would need to be cooked.  Just as a point of reference...yesterday I put on a 8 x 12 inch pan of canned Pork n Beans (already cooked ) that I added some raw onions and bell peppers with and a few other spices.  I put it in the smoker for 2 & 3/4 hours at around 250 degrees....and it was way over cooked.  I could have taken it out at about 2 hours or slightly less and would have been perfect (which I normally do and have in the past), but got lazy on this cook and watching the other things going on in the smoker.    

So I would think a couple of hours max would work if everything is pretty well already cooked up !!

Thanks Buck and Bigcup. The way I'm doing this is fully cooking the chili over stove top like normal, then putting it in the smoker. So, I'm guessing about 90 minutes constant smoke at about 250. Sound about right? I'll sure to post a couple pics.
