Smoked Chili

[bertjo44]

Wasn't sure where to put this. Has anyone smoked Chili? Found a little info by googling it but not much. Most involves using smoked beer. I am talking about smoking the actually pot of chili. Not sure though, should I use ground beef and then smoke, use smoked cubed brisket. Let's generate some discussion.

I had smoked a top round and some dino bones (beef back ribs) and had a ton of leftovers. I diced it all up and added to a pot of chili. It came out great with a nice smokey flavor.

I smoked my ground beef and jalapenos and then put them in my chili, but I have never smoked the entire pot.

How did you smoke the ground beef, whole chub or broken up or was it partially cooked first?

The crumpled fatties in there sounds real good.

Gotta say chopped smoked brisket would add a lot to a pot of chili. Or maybe smoke a chuck roast to 200°-205° so you can pull it and use that.

Whole chub. Bought one of those 5lb chubs and smoked it.

I wanted know how you have a fatty leftover!!! but I guess 5lbs might make me hurt.

i have done it acouple of ways make up a batch with onions and jap peppers and what have and smoke it like jeffs meat loaf just not as long take it inside and brown it in skillet and then add beans rotel and what have you into the crock pot and let er go be careful this adds alot of smoke flavor too much for some
the other way i haven't done as much but it works brown up your meat mix beans etc into a disposable alum pan throw on bottom rack like bake beans and pile what ever other meat you want on top and let the drippings fall into your chili really good but takes time and a fair amount of meat hope this gives you an idea or two

if you can smoke dutch's beans.......i see no reason you couldn't smoke chili........smoke the onion, japs, homemade bacon or left over pulled pork, and brisket, chuck, etc..........combine it.......and then treat it like you wuld dutch's beans......stir it every so often.........

All good advice! Leftover pulled pork also makes a fine chili.

Take care, have fun, and do good!

I've used about 4-5 lbs of pulled pork butt in SoFlaQuer Jeff's chili verde. Gives it an excellent flavor.
