Chef Arnoldi,
Looks like a great recipe. This would be great on a cool Fall day. I think I will give it a try this week. Did this recipe win at the cook-off?[p]Big John

Big John,NO;
it was my first chili cook-off & from what i was told & saw, i didn't have a hope in h...
reason: you needed alot of buddies put votes in your box and being right at the entrance, by the time people decided to make a vote, they didn't bother walking all the way back to drop off the stubs. So LOCATION, location, location is stil the key. The comments that i heard though (directly & indirectly) were that this was really great tasting.
OH well, we'll try it again next year.
My chily was also a big hit, but no win there either. Next time it wan't be fine chopped, but rough ground (quicker to do & i see no difference in taste)[p]note: both chili & Brunswick stew were done in a wok placed on the grid- a great tool for the BGE
