Notes
I use both Burnt Ends and slices in mine
12 – 15 dried chilis also makes a big difference in this chili, it’s what Firlotte does. Simmer them with the onions and garlic. Thomson just uses the canned chipotle with adobo sauce.
This recipe is what we used to win the “CMHC Chili Cook-Off” in November, 2012 and 2013.
This recipe won us 1st Place at the Manotick Shiverfest Chili Cook-off in January 2013
Firlotte likes to simmer this on his Kamado Joe, adds more charcoal flavour.
Could you just use stewing beef here? Sure, but then its a beef chili, not brisket, but not everyone has access to a brisket.
