    Wardster,
    Ok, this will be the easiest one you'll find: just take any ole standard recipe and be sure to add a can (or as much of the peppers as you can stand) of Chipotle's in Adobo sauce. This stuff is what I call the essence of chili or chili in raw form , or chili condensed... anyway you get the idea. also see my post today on how to make it from scratch.

    Wardster,
    This past weekend I made KennyG's Eggfest Chili. It was excellent. So, here it is.
    BillyV in SoCal[p]1 large dried chili pepper - pasilla (wimpy) Chipotle (hotter) pequin
    (hotter yet) Scotch bonnet or Habenero (five alarm)
    Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
    Wood chunks - I used hickory, mesquite and pecan in ATL
    Preparation:
    Preheat your Egg to 275-300°
    Open tomato and bean cans and dump into appropriately sized "chili pot",
    deep Corningware casserole dish, metal stockpot, cast iron Dutch oven, etc.
    Fry bacon extra crisp in a non stick skillet and remove and crumble into chili pot.
    Use bacon drippings to brown ground meat or sausage seasoning with salt and
    pepper as you go. Halfway through the browning process, add onions and
    garlic, drain grease and dump contents into chili pot. Float your dried
    chili(s) on top.
    Add in all remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly to incorporate well.
    Cook on the Egg with smoking chunks, placing chilipot on a pizza stone or
    other "thermal barrier". This allows the chili to heat slowly and pick up more smoke flavor. Stir and taste every 20 minutes or so.
    Remove the
    dried pepper when you have the heat you might be looking for. Monitor the
    chili temp with an instant read thermo or Polder. At about 140° internal and 1.5 to 2 hours, remove the thermal barrier. With the
    pot directly over the heat now, it should come up to almost a boil in about 30 more minutes.
    Serve with thinly sliced green onions and grated cheddar cheese on top.
    It will taste even better the next day, of course.
    Have fun and enjoy,
    KennyG

    Wardster,[p]My brother-in-law won 1st place with this recipe. He substituted beef for Boston Butt he smoked with a few chunks of hickory. He chopped the meat so the pieces were about an inch in size.[p]He didn't really use dark beer - he used a wheat beer from a local brewery here in Kansas City, home of the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (insert SI cover jinx here).
