  1. I like the modification you made with the thermometer location on your kettle lid, I have been thinking about doing the same to mine. Chili also looks great! Thanks for sharing!!

  2. yep! brisket is too much meat for just me, so i do a chuck roast. leftovers always go into chili !

  3. I'm waiting for the Chili Police to jump in. My philosophy is there are three kinds of food: good, bad, and meh. If adding beans to chili makes it good for you, who cares other than you? Dirty little secret: there are some Texans who put beans in their chili.

  4. Great looking bowl of red Ry. Question re the smoke hole mod in your kettle. Do you think placement relative to the coal bed makes any difference? Obviously below the coal bed but near the starter coals, opposite the starter coals or central to the coal bed? Would the position change the way the bed burns? I'm probably over thinking it. Just wanted your thoughts. Thanks.

  5. Looks great, as always!

    I always add a TBS or two of unsweetened cocoa powder to my chili to give it a little something on the back end.

  6. That's my kind of chili. Looks so good. I'm sure people will call you out for putting beans in but the right way to do chili is the way you want to do chili. We don't need rules for everything! Just needs some cornbread or to be put into a bread bowl

  7. Ry, I’ve been cooking for 50+ years, and I still don’t have a ā€œsignature ā€œ, go-to chili recipe. I bounce back-and-forth between a couple of favorites, and I believe I will add this one to the rotation. It looks delicious, and the addition of that smoked chuck might just put it over the top for me. I love TJ’s frozen roasted corn! Note: if I add beans to a pot of red, I tend to opt for black beans, well-rinsed. šŸ‘ Thanks, Ry!

  8. Chuck roast is a great thing to make chili with. Even though I'm on the no beans side of the chili, that still looks great to me. Cheers, Ry! šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ»āœŒļø

  9. My smoked chuck roast chili is smoked 4 hrs. I’m not smoking to a temp or doneness, I just want to get as much smoke on it as I can. Then overnight in fridge.

    Cube it up next morning and add it to your chili, simmer in Dutch often at 350 for 3 hours and serve.

  10. Chili as a dish has plenty of room for many variations – not everyone has to make it the same way your mom did when you were growing up šŸ˜‚
    I’m focused on basic ingredients and solid techniques when I cook and love variations on classic dishes
    This looks delicious ā¤

  11. Ry, what are your thoughts on cubing the chuck roast prior to smoking it. I’ve done that before where I will cut the chuck into about 1ā€ or 1/2ā€ cubes, season, and then smoke. Curious if you’ve tried that. I did it cause I enjoy more cubes of meat vs shredded meat in my chili. Your chili looked amazing though, thank you for sharing!

  12. Absolutely delicious Ry. The chili looked amazing. When I make my chili I use ground beef and stew meat. Next time I think I'm gonna smoke a Chuck roast. Great idea. Have a great week my friend. šŸ‘šŸ‘

  13. That looks fantastic. Smoking the roast prior is something I’ve not done, but love the idea.

    Great video as always Ry!

  14. I like the idea of smoking the beef, then slow cooking it. Very creative. I'm thinking of doing the smoking part, then freezing the beef to use in a few weeks to make the chili. I think it would work out fine.

  15. Maybe I missed it but what was the slow cooker temp setting? Thank you and this was another great video!!!

  16. I DID NOT expect you to put it in whole, I assumed you would cube it up. I like adding a bit of brown sugar (like my mom always did!).

  17. Started this last night and just finished dinner. Smoked a roast and added it to the family chili recipe. It's such an amazing spin on the typical ground beef we used before. It's like a smoked/pulled beef, pot roast, and chili all in one. 🤯

  18. I’m doing similar to this. I had my smoker at 265 for an hour. Ground venison is cooked all the way through . Now just cooking everything together for an hour then stir. Then another hour should be done. @300 degrees like you said. I will update. I can’t wait to eat it.

  19. Thank you for addition to the chili world. I know that you're a BBQ person, but I feel like these two communities and our passions have a lot of overlap.
