It turned out to be my favorite pot of chili I've made over the years.

Thanks. No beans in my chili. I do use it for Taco Soup and Borracho Bean Soup, etc.

Ready to take 'em off and prep for slow cooker.   Puree the peppers in a food processor, add some tomato sauce for moisture. Add everything into slow cooker, and add some moisture (I added Beer, but beef stock, chicken, or water would be fine). Add more paprika, cumin, chili powder...

Well, I'm making my second attempt at smoked chile chili today. Poblanos & Serranos, Diced tomatoes, seasonings, and meat.  Sorry, but the entity of "sports" does not have a monopoly on the word preseason. 5lb mix of ground beef and stew meat. Chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika And...

I know this is 30 years later, but I simply do a two zone, with hickory chips, and drip pan if needed. Granted, I have not yet smoked a brisket or a pork butt, but I have smoked salsa, bacon-wrapped jalapenos, taco meat, and chili, and they all turned out pretty good. 

I've changed my mind, and I have decided that it is an improved batch with the smoke. After a bowl of it, I was converted.

Thanks, all. We'll see. I've had a little taste this morning and -while it is good- I would not say it's my best batch, although I smoked the ingredients. The real test will be what others at work think. 

So trying this tonight. Smokin' some veggies and beef, then letting it soften up in the crock pot tonight.  Ingredients (no exact measurements, just wing it): 'Bout 5lbs of beef (stew meat and ground mixture) Couple o' cans of diced tomatoes Celery, chopped Large yeller Onion 'Bout 20 Anaheim...

Well, I didn't make it back in June, but I did July and was very pleased with the results of my second Brisket attempt.

Last night was my final cook on an old gas grill I had. Got a new Stok Drum Grill yesterday and cooked some Chicken and Veggies on it tonight.       

Welcome. Plano-ite here.

Looks tasty!

Strip's my favorite cut. Had some of the sausage this morning for breakfast. What are y'all's favorite steak cuts? Also, just got a good deal on a Stok charcoal drum grill, looking for favorite grilled veggies.

God speed, Friend! My first brisket (less than a month ago) was very nerve-racking, but the payoff was great. Now I'm hooked.

Felt like Texas again today. But it also looked  like it, too (maybe some New York in there?)!
