Cooking for a small chili cook-off this Saturday. Thinking about adding some smoke to it. What's the best way. I just don't want it too smokey.

I smoked a couple of chuck roasts until I was happy with the bark, then I foiled to finish. Refrigerated overnight, before cubing and adding to my chili. The smoke shined through, but didn't overpower.texaswig said:@lkapigian gonna make it the day before. Just thinking it'll add a little something.XL & MM BGE, 36" Blackstone - Newport News, VA -
You’d be amazed what smoking your peppers ahead of time to the point of being dehydrated and then rehydrating them and adding the liquid mix into your base will add for smoke if you’re not able to smoke the meat ahead of time

Chipotle in adobo will ad a nice earthy smoke taste
Couple things I have learned that will help you in chili cookoffs .....Make your own chili powder or adobo ( I prefer adobo as I can strain off the skins )...make your own beef stock if allowed watch the salt level, it all adds up as you add ingredients
best of luckVisalia, Ca @lkapigian -

I add a cup of coffee to my chili which gives it some good flavor.

I did this for a neighborhood potluck last year and it was a tremendous hit. I've already been asked to do it again this year. Great flavor!johnnyp said:

Congrats on bringing it home. What "smoke" process did you end up using?
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -
@lousubcap haha I didn't. I decided just to wait until I got mine recipe exactly how I wanted it and then add smoke next time.2-XLs ,MM,blackstone,Ooni koda 16,R&V works 8.5 gallon fryer,express smoker and 40" smoking cajun
