Marc , hello and another idea (as if you weren't in overload already) .When I do a smoked 'Chili' , I will smoke anything going into the mix , meat (to your liking , I enjoy a fully smoked Brisket or Chuckie) .
Put Onions , fresh Garlic, tomatoes , Chiles (I like N.M. or Anahiem) , Spices , broth ,if used , and (beans if you have to have them...yuk).
Let them smoke , veggies till mushy and the spices toasty. Then shred the Brisket and mix all ingredients and simmer for a bit . You may not need Cumin ( and I never use a commercial Chili Powder... EVIL)
Make a large CI pan of Corn Bread , and have a feast...( hint : before pouring the Cornbread batter into the [oiled and heated to sceaming hot] , sprinkle a liberal amt.of dry cornmeal in the bottom of the pan and the bread will fall out when done...).It will look heavenly with all the toasted CM on top bottom ( which is the top after turning out).
have fun and . . .
