Cheap Dutch pot for you chilli heads

[Davy]

So what - do you used canned or dried beans? I was wondering if the temperature in the smoker would be enough to cook beans - i know that some types need a certain temperature to cook properly (hence why some do not cook in a slow cooker or crock pot).

I much prefer cowboy chilli ie without beans.

Beans

That's fighting talk in some chilli circles

No beans? That's like BBQ with no smoke.

When I do my chilli it's meat, onions seasoning/sauce. All the extras, beans, chees, grated chocolate etc go in bowls on the table. I picked that tip up at the old Chicago Meat Packers Restaurant decades ago. It's not traditional but it was the way they did it and made for a good sharing experience.
