Title: Smoked chili question
Post by: AmirMortal on January 23, 2020, 03:22:57 PM
Howdy folks,

So I'm getting ready to smoke some ground beef for chili, and am wondering if it would be best to mix the onions into the beef... Or maybe to make a depression in the meat, and place lightly oiled onions in there, with garlic on top for the duration?

The peppers are going to be smoked on top no matter what, at least partially. And the rest of the chili will be below the meat absorbing the drippings, or so I'm thinking.

Thoughts, experiences?

In my opinion (and experience) smoking the meat, and that's all, will make an awesome chili...

What ever you do, post the results.

Smoke it all! Do a batch with it all, and one without, then see if it's different. Oh yeah, post some pics.

Look up "over the top smoked chili". Haven't tried it yet.

Just the smoked meat will give the impact of flavor you are going to love in the chilli IMO
