Texas chili

[HoosierKettle]

Browned a chuckie in the performer with just gas then moved to the ots to slow cook. I used 3 jalapeño, and a few other varieties of peppers that I don't remember the names. Rotel and another can of diced tomato, and a can of beer. 3 more hours to go.

Like your set up.  Cool way to use CI pot.  Chili looks great!

Nice!
Sometimes you use two kettles, not because you have to, but because you can [emoji3]

Thanks fellas. I'm really happy with the results. Had a great kick to it and the texture was right. I've done it before less successfully.

Yes! I'd take a bowl of that with a side of some sour cream and a PBR.

I hit a small detour a couple hours ago. My daughter says "hey, lets make some more pretzels".  She made them with my help. These went on the oven.  That's a full day of cooking [emoji3]

Look what you started @Travis

@HoosierKettle I'm finished with my chili now, getting one of those pretzels and another PBR.

@wessonjb nice cast iron Dutch oven there. What is a 3 dump chili?

Very clever to use the charcoal baskets that way.  I'll be sure to remember to do that the next time I make my stew.  Those cast iron Dutch ovens get pretty heavy when they're full.

I looked up 3 dump.  That makes a lot of sense.  I know I usually add a lot of seasoning in the beginning only to find I need to add more later and sometimes more the next day for leftovers.

for those who don't know, 3 dump is adding specific seasonings at 3 different times during the cook.  I did not do this but it does make sense to me.

Dutch is 1917-1920 Martin ( hamburger logo) and was given to me as a gift. 3 dump chili was a chili winning championship recipe from a guy in the 2000's. It's Texas style but I added my own spin to it with beans and some other things. Takes little over 4 hours and you add the dumps throughout the cook and the last dump 15 minutes before you serve. Packed with flavor. 3 different chili powders and bunch of other stuff.

It's probably been done before but I can't say I've seen it.  I didn't want to get the cast iron all dirty with ash even thought that's what they are made for lol.  Also, it raises it up at a convenient stirring height and the lid bridges nicely between the ci and the bowl when checking or stirring.  I was a little concerned that the baskets would support the weight but it's no problem unless your baskets are toast.

never thought to do this all the years I made chili. Makes a huge difference with the dumps and then let simmer. Try it next time and you'll never go back
