Alder smoked brisket chilli

Stormbringer

Myself and SWMBO had a great east coast USA tour last year. As part of it we visited Great Smoky Mountains NP, staying in Gatlinburg. There's a few BBQ places there, the stand-out being Calhoun's. Their Tennessee brisket chilli was amazing, so we tried to emulate it when we got back home. Turned out pretty damn good tbh, recipe in this link:

Thanks for looking. And looking forward to tomorrow night's epic @JohnInCarolina zoom session.

looks yummy!
I have an almost full bag of alder chips (heard it great with fish) but prob wouldn't be to practical for a long smoke

@loco_engr maybe you could with a smoker box. I used an item like the one below for low 'n' slow cooks with chips until I got some proper chunks.

Another outstanding cook and accompanying set of pictures from @Stormbringer under his Cooks Digest guise. Very pleased when the notification drops in my inbox.

Cheers and thanks. The original brisket was a full packer from Turner and George, really good value IMHO.
