We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

First off.. to share something that won you an award even if it's local is really awesome. Second I'm not a fan of cumin. Cumin seed okay but cumin not my thang. I love making mexican food and to me cumin is what turned mexican into taco bell. I am not in the habit of tweaking recipes before I've tried the original. Either way I'm going to try your recipe and I"m sure it's going to be amazing. I have no doubt. I've just got a prejudice against cumin and green bell peppers.

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
Made it last night...marvelous! I made a couple of substitutions as follows: cinnamon instead of allspice because we are out of allspice; I wimped out and didn't smoke the pork butt on Sunday like I had planned (43, rainy and windy. I know, I know I should have sucked it up) so it went in the crock pot for the day; the wife forgot to grab green peppers at the grocery store so we used a bag of frozen chopped peppers we had in the freezer; I forgot that we were out of fresh garlic so it didn't make it onto last week's grocery list so I used 10 pickled garlic cloves that were pickled with a couple of ghost peppers and lastly, I made it on the stove top in a porcelain covered cast iron dutch oven. Oh and one last item, and I forgot to toss in the corn. My wife asked me this morning why there was a can of corn on the table and then the light bulb came on. The next time we make this, the pork will definitely be smoked. While the chili had great flavor, I can see where it would benefit from smoke and rub. Hmm...I guess I could have tossed some rub and liquid smoke in there. I might experiment with the leftovers. I will also toss in some cayenne pepper next time and maybe some Volcano Dust 4 for some extra heat. All-in-all a keeper recipe! Thank you for sharing LifebyC!!!

Ive got a batch sitting in the slow cooker right now... this is an amazing chili dish already and ive only tasted it without MHs pork butt added yet! LifebyC you nailed the heat and the spices. i can see how this got you a blue ribbon. thanks for resending the link in the newsletter, i forgot where the thread ended up!
