Brisket Chili Win!!

Our Expressway Authority here in Orlando held its annual Chili-Cook off competition, employees and consultants were invited to compete (I'm on the consultant side). I decided to try @EggObsessed recipe for Smoked Brisket Chili. I went to my local butcher and had him cut me off a point, around 7LBS, and smoked it with Meat Church Holy Cow at 250 for about 14 hours. After a FTC for 3 hours I chopped the entire point up and proceeded to make the chili, followed the instructions to a tee. I even got Penderrys Chili Powder.
At the competition there was around 25 people competing under 4 different categories: Traditional, White, Unique, and Spicy. I entered the Unique category and at the end I didn't win my division. After all 4 categories winners were announced they announced the Overall Winner...and I won!!! First ever Chili Comp Ive entered. Again thank you @EggObsessed.

Yea was totally surprised it took that long, was actually getting anxious about the damn thing but patience prevailed and around 14 hours it was probing like buttah. May have to check the thermometer.GoooDawgs said:Nice! Making this recipe right now. 14 hours on a 7 pound point is impressive. Surprised it took so long.O-Town, FL -
@ewyllins - congrats on the win. Way to bring it home.
BTW- you have a gold mine with your butcher if you can score straight up points. Take advantage of that source.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Awesome! Chili looks fantastic and obviously tasted great to take home the top prize. I like my chili, but I might have to give that recipe a try.Stillwater, MN

For sure, the place is called The Meat House and theyll cut anything for you. Unfortunately they charge 5.99 a lb to cut up a brisket.lousubcap said:@ewyllins - congrats on the win. Way to bring it home.

That looks great. Congratulations on the win. So how do you win overall but not take the division? Different judges?
