Chili on the Egg

My wife got me a cast iron Dutch oven for our anniversary last week. So, I'm about to throw chili on the egg for the first time. I'm using a modified version of Egrett's cow lickin recipe. Plate setter in feet up, spacers to sit the DO on the plate setter, and meat is it he DO. This may be a stupid question, but do I cook with the lid on the Dutch oven, or with the lid off and just the top of the Egg closed? Or, does it matter? If I can leave the lid off at 350 and get a little smoke flavor in the chili, that sounds really good. What do you think?

I leave the lid off, toss some chips on the lump and go direct. Check from time to time (or beer to beer) and toss on more chips as I wish.My actuary says I'm dead.

You don't need a lid inside the egg. You don't lose much liquid.

@Bob do you do it raised grill or not ?

I did a batch today. Used brisket leftover from last weekend, and it came out great! Had to tone down the heat for wifey and the daughter.... We should have it tomorrow, as i did smoked meatloaf as well!

The secret for good chili down here in Louisiana can be summed up in two words - "road kill"
I've had some gumbos with some extremely disturbing animal parts in it out in the swamp. Tasted delicious though. Sorry, I digress....

I like to do mine around 325.......Here's how I do mine : http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/257511/x/p1

Muah? I know enough not to add no steeenkin' beans and to chop up the meat instead of grind it.
