Uncle Bubbas Texas Chili, a full, rich and savory chili. With a “Kiss of Smoke” and cocoa. The meat was so tender that Patti said, “You could cut it with a look”! Lord, women scare me to death!

Uncle Bubba took his “Smoke Daddy Cold Smoke Generator” with “mesquite” pellets and smoked the seasoned beef for 2 hours, then a 5 hour cook the next day.

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns, and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Uncle Bubbas Texas Chili

Season the meat with a nice coat of chili powder. I placed it onto some of my Bull Rack trays for easy handling and onto the GMG. We are not going to fire up the grill today. We are using “Smoke Daddy’s Cold Smoke Generator” for a 2-hour mesquite smoke.

Most things won’t pick up any more smoke flavor after 2 hours so remove the meat then. Place it into an airtight container and into the fridge overnight.

Next Day….

Preheat the grill to 300* (150c) and light your wedgie.

Slice the bacon into 1-inch pieces and brown them in a large Dutch oven. When done to your taste remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. (so, it doesn’t burn)

Brown the cubed meat in batches in the bacon rendering. When all the meat is browned to your taste place it all back into the Dutch oven with the bacon.

Add all the ingredients into your Dutch oven except the corn starch and then onto the grill.

We simmered our chili for 4 ½ hours stirring it every hour or so until the meat was fork tender. At this point we mixed the corn starch with a little warm water and stirred it into the chili. Simmer for another ½ hour until it thickens.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also, you are only smoking at temps less than 250* (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood, and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
