    Smoked Chili

    I usually add a cup of coffee for a 3-5 gallon pot or I add a half cup of unsweetened chocolate chips to my chili. It adds a richness to it. I also add some fresh squeezed lime to the pot once it’s done. It helps with the mouthfeel and finish.

    Best size chunks, or wedges, for smoking.

    I cut my blocks into about 1 1/2” long pieces. I rotate about every 30-45 mins and they turn out well.

    Holy cow. That is a meat lovers pizza if I’ve ever seen one. It’s like a charcuterie board made on pizza dough and baked to perfection. Great job!!!

    Super Bowl Charcuterie board.

    My brother in law made the board out of a 40 yr old piece of American Chestnut. I could barely finish my burger. I did fall asleep just after the Bucks won. Food coma is definitely a real thing.

    We started with a pregame charcuterie board, ( adult lunchables). At halftime we did some smash burgers with some smoked cheddar melted on them. I think I’m still stuffed this morning.
