I know this is not a chili thread and I ain't wanting to start a fight, but I just gotta put in my 2 cents.

Chili is made with ground beef or venison. No pork, no chicken, nothing 'cubed'. Sometimes it contains beans, but not in Texas, unless you wanna get whupped. Some folks use beer, wine, or tequila in their chili. Chili always must contain green or red chilies, or both. It does not have to include chili powder. Chopped onions and garlic, cumin, tomatoes included.

Chili as we know it was invented in the south and ruined elsewhere.

Yes you're correct GLH, this isn't a chili thread

As long as you're talking about smoking the meat before you make chili or making the chili in your smoker, just start a new thread so we can see the sparks fly.

If you don't know it is spelled chile, not chili, you don't know beans about it or what goes into it. :^)= Come to New Mexico and taste some real genuine chile. You won't argue about what goes into it again. Well maybe whether it should red or green, but that is the state question. And it makes holiday get togethers interesting. No family I know of is unanimous in the choice. Posole is a Christmas Eve tradition here, maybe I will try to smoke it this year. - Duffey

Chilli bullcrap is like wine bullcrap.

You like armadillo chilli fine.
You like
ground meat fine.
Red wine with fish?
So what?
We need to grow up....

Have you found anything to use the leftover pork for that you have liked. You could just freeze it and use later.

I agree with Okie, obviously!

So who volunteers to start a chili making thread?

Ok then...

We need another volunteer to start an English language/spelling thread in order to sort out the correct spelling and usage of chili/chile.

Use that leftover brisket to make a batch of chili.

Yup.
I made a batch of chili/chile using equal parts pulled pork and chicken.
Couldn't find an armadillo !
Froze the balance.

You are welcome to come down here and hunt armadillos in my yard any night you wish! They are known as 'possums on the half-shell' here. They are a natural carrier of staph and leprosy.
