Smokey Mountain Chili, Inspired by Big Daddy

[John Wheeler]

So on possibly the last good weather weekend of the year for our part of town, I decided to do some chili! With a 4:25 start for my beloved Brownies, it made for a perfect Sunday! Here we go...

All the fixins



I took the middle section off my WSM and used the coals direct on the CI



Got busy frying and forgot a meat pic. Here's with everything in the pot waiting for the pulled need to go swimming




All mixed up and headed for some heats




Old faithful ready to go




Started off on bottom grate



Finished on top



Just in time for kick off! Go Browns!



Sorry no presentation pics. The clowns ended up winning on this fine Sunday afternoon. I think my chili helped! Lol.

Thx for looking.

The weathers a turning so chili is going to be on the menu soon, thanks for posting your way of cooking chili on the WSM.
If you did it again would you just use the top rack?, and thanks for beating the Raiders.

@JeffG
I would only use the the top rack next time. It was still simmerin' real good on the top rack. I would also run the temps around 250 as well. More time to simmer and horse around. Lol
