Making a large pot for friends and family. 
Hope all is well for you out there, especially those dealing with the storm.
Here in Kentucky, it is just rain, but will be getting colder. 68°F in Louisville yesterday. Going down to the 20s tonight. It just fits.Just started the cook, needs about 3 hours.

    I don’t know if you ever tried meat church’s chili recipe but it is damn good. 4lb chuck roast cooked the night before and the day after put everything in a pot and smoke for 8 hours. Turns out amazing and the meat just falls apart.

    It turned out very well. I used the Salado recipe with some changes. I used smoked chipotle instead of jalapeño. About 2/3 of the celery, but added a couple dashes of celery seed, used 3.5 sweet onions instead of red onions, 2 cups of Medoc French red, (had the rest throughout the day, about 4 bowls), added 4 ounces more V8. I used bourbon smoked paprika instead of smoked paprika.

    This is delicious, a mouthful of flavor. Nothing else added, no crackers, cheese or other condiments. Just not needed.

    Did you get a full frontal lobotomy too? Just kidding, the weather is turning up here, going to get colder after being in the upper 60’s. Thought the rest of this brisket might do a great chili. Turned out really good.

    I have not, but may try it on my next brisket.

    I have toyed with this recipe for years, dialing it in to a family with a unique pallet has been a journey. I think I have it close enough to please 5 completely different styles of taste.

    Not bragging, just feeling pretty good about the results. I have had some frustration along this trail.

    Thank you for the heads up. Appreciate it greatly.

    Its been a while since I had mine. Wait... what was the middle part, again?

    Hope whatever procedure you have pending, and the other stuff, goes well, and things get sorted out. You've been missed.

    Very kind of you, appreciate it greatly. Please tell Sruti hello, and we miss seeing you all as well.

    Me getting stuff sorted out. That’s a knee slapper. It seems I keep digging the hole deeper, trying to get out. Almost there.
