    Boccie,
    Chili is definately the call for today---sleeting here in Biloxi. What was that pot you Egged the chili in? Ceramic? Metal? Wife will not allow me to use her indoor stuff so I have been suffering through with throw away aluminum pans---not esthetically pleasing,and occassionally dangerously messy. I had a tasty pork tenderloin yesterday and planning an Egged calzone tomorrow. Could use some of that chili!

    Schneid,
    Sleeting in Biloxi? Not so over here in New Orleans. Is it my imagination or are there not many folks on here from our neck of the woods?

    Shelby,
    Nearly everytime I have someone over, they are getting their taste of BGE for first time. The guests yesterday told my wife during the cook that they did not like pork---they are hooked. The sleeting is a light little pelting, hope it does not make black ice on the roads. Gotta go get some rest---Feb and the Mardi Gras are coming up....

    Schneid,
    We used a 5qt. Lodge cast iron dutch oven (with the lid off so it could get the smoke flavor). It's a bit nippy here in West Virginia too. High today was all of about 25, low around 10 tonight. Chili was just the right meal for today![p]~nikki

    When I was in school at Baylor U. in Waco, Tx there was a bbq joint just South of campus that had something vaguely similar. The place is called Vitek's (small mom and pop operation).[p]In a 9"x9" styro clamshell he'd put in a thick base layer of frito's, add a heap of bbq chopped beef, bbq beans on top of that, and cheese, onions, and peppers to finish it off. Oops, forgot to mention the hot links as well.[p]They called it a "gut pack". Judging by my appearance a few months after discovering that place, the name is aptly suited.
