You had some real good advice posted. I take my Chili cooking as serious as do my Smoking
I cook for my TASTE and Family and Friends. Competitions are a whole other animal. You have to try to please the Judges. Some like it Hot and Hotter, some Milder who knows. That's why even after over Fifty years of Smoking and Chili making I still ask Family and friends "How was it" "Does it need anything" "Or to much of something" Even Family and friends their pallets are different. My Wife Likes Chili but MILD, I like HOT, about half and half with family and friends.
Hope this helps. A lot of times when I cook I'll make a mild pot and a spicier pot And it Freezes really well.
I'm a basic kind of guy, don't want a bunch of stuff in my Chili or BBQ for that matter that just don't belong Keep it Simple Look at some of the Past winners at Terlingua and their recipe's
