Was planning on making some fresh chili powder to use in chili for our annual chili contest at work. From what I have read it is night and day from store bought so I have a few Questions that maybe some BBQ peeps could help me out on.
I Took first place in 2014 with pulled pork in it and 2nd in 2015 with chuck roast and mushrooms(Although I like mushrooms in hindsight I think it may have cost me a couple votes, some people don't like fungus).
So this year I am looking for that edge to take it over the top and I'm going to smoke all, brisket, onion and the garlic, also adding homemade chili powder.
1) Has anybody made this and what is your thoughts on taste?
2) If so are the ratios used in recipes the same as store bought or would it be stronger and need to use less? ( I understand I will have to taste to know ,just looking for a baseline)
3) What recipe did you use was it MH Signature Chili Powder? http://amazingribs.com/recipes/rubs_...li_powder.html or another?
maybe AB's recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...er-recipe.html
Thoughts?
