I'm a big fan of Spice Islands Chili Powder but can't find it in a size larger than 2.4 oz. I see pics of 10.5-oz bottles online but can't find anyone who actually sells it.
Is there a comparable chili powder out there? Do you have any favorites you buy in bulk?
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I use Tone's. I haven't experimented with 'premium' chili powders. I have bought a few and I like Tone's, it's nto too salty like cheap ones can be but it is vibrant for what I know of chili powder. I think they have it at Sam's but I can't remember. This 20oz jug was $6.58 and lasts me forever considering the price of the tiny bottles can be half that for only 2-3oz this is the way to go.

Thanks, all! Maybe I'll give Penzey's a try. I've purchased blends from a local shop and online at Spice Barn in the past but wasn't too thrilled with them.
I might try a small batch of the Tones too. Unfortunately, I have a BJ's membership rather than Sam's. BJ's does carry McCormick's though, which might work too.
I like to experiment with homemade sauces and rubs. Pork is King, but beef is good too.
Always planing and brainstorming for the summer kickoff BBQ for my church.
I build mine from several different 1oz pouches of various El Guapo powdered chilies, also usually get the powdered oregano from them. Get cumin and Chipoltie in bulk because I use them in other things too. Probably would be better following the Recipie here, but this works thus far..
Another good spice source is MySpiceSage.com. They have a huge selection, even ground versions, like ground bay leaf for S&G rub, etc., that Penzey's does not. You can get all the ground chilies for the AR chili recipe, plus they have blends as well. Free fast shipping. And you can buy multi-pound amounts if you're having a big rub.

Here's a recipe for chili powder that I believe I got in a Cook's Illustrated magazine several years back.
It's the only chili powder I use now.
10 TBS Anaheim, New Mexico, or Guajillo powder
3 TBS Ground cumin
3 TBS Oregano
3 TBS Garlic Powder
2 TBS Cayenne
2 TBS pasilla or other mild chili powder (I typically use California chili powder.)
I also add 2 TBS of Gebhardts chili powder. If you can't find it, it'll be fine without it.
