    My Chili

    Im with Gadgetman, hooked recently on over the top chili. Even the wife won’t eat chili any other way. Gadgetmans recipe looks great. I used one from the cookin pellets website. Link below. Not as thick but hearty. https://cookinpellets.com/recipes/smoked-over-the-top-chili/

    New RecTeq models
