with a few Terlingua/LR additions. Man, this stuff is good. A couplew of months ago we had a freezer door left open and several pounds of really good beef and pork chili meat thawed. I went ahead and browned it and froze again. I thought it was time, so I made chili today. Added a bit of New Mexico crushed green chili, beef broth and brown sugar to ChefRD's mix...(certainly not to say there was anything missing) and it turned out great!The second pic is based on a request from SpringHen suggesting that I make an extra long ladel for big-time chili cooks. So, here is the unfinished prototype...though not called into action for this pot. Mike
Lawn Ranger,Dang, Mike - lookin' real good there - both the chili and the ladel prototype. Hey, what dome temp do you typically run at when doing stuff like chili in a dutch oven?See you in Eggtober?TRex
Lawn Ranger, your chili looks great, I have yet to try that on my egg. Is it necessary to have those little feet between the pot and the plate setter? Were they custom made, or can you buy them somewhere?
