Man Rus, that was the perfect day to do a chili recipe!! Crappy weather always makes outdoor cooking more fun and the food taste better in my opinion!!! That Dutch Oven set up is very cool!
It sure was, and just happened to turn out like that. I really didn't want to shoot a video outside with all that cold rain blowing around, but we protected the cameras and gear and let it roll. I was more than ready to dive into that chili after being out side for 3 hours in that cold windy mess lol! I'm really loving the Camp Maid setup. Can't wait to show what else it can be used for. Thanks Larry!
Rus, I really am super impressed by the amount of work you put into drying and processing your chile peppers, and measuring the correct amounts based upon the heat and flavor they impart! I could never do all that! The Camp Maid products look so solid. They exude quality! Your chili looks amazing... out of this world!! WOW!! Great job on all fronts my friend!
Thanks so much John, and yes the Camp Maid is very impressive! In the coming videos you will see that this one zip up bag of Camp Maid tools is all you need to cook, grill, steam and smoke food on a camping trip, outing, or even in your back yard as I did here. Thanks so much for the great comments John, I sure do appreciate it :)
WOW RUSS!! great looking chili. i'm gonna have to try this. you're right though. trinidads are HOT!! it was my first year growing them. also my laptop died but i've bought a new pc and plan on cranking out some good food vids right after christmas. thank you sooo much for remembering me. i'm looking forward to more vids.
Thanks Matt, and yes they are very hot, but perfect to add that just right level of heat to a big one pot meal like this chili here. Glad to hear you got a new PC and will be able to make more videos. I'll be looking for them. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Very nice looking chili Rus!!! I saw something about that Campmaid product a few months back and it looks very intriguing. I can't wait to see what you do with that setup next! Merry Christmas to you and the family! Cheers brother! Oh, I subbed to your buddy!
Thanks Troy! My only mistake was not making enough of it lol! It was gone within the first hour! (Sons were over visiting). Merry Christmas to you and Karen Troy, hope y'all have a great one! Thanks, I know Matt will appreciate the sub!
That's so cool. Camp Maid really thought through that design. It's like the swiss army knife of dutch oven cooking. Thanks for the video, Rus. Merry Christmas to you and your people down there in Mississippi.
I'm really enjoying it Justin. I'll be showing other things you can do with it in the coming videos. Merry Christmas Justin! Hope your family and you have a great one!
Rus thats a clever idea about putting the charcoal on top of the lid like that - Never seen the camp maid before - excellent all in one unit thanks for introducing it. Must have been cold out there. The steam coming off at 7:50 was crazy! perfect cook for a cold day!
Jason, I was super impressed with the Camp Maid set up. It worked like a champ, and the chili turned out perfect! I was in my back yard, but brother this is perfect for any kind of camping trip or outing. Yes, that cold front was bearing down on us fast and even colder today. We have high humidity down here on days like that, and it feels twice as cold as what it actually is. Thanks for stopping by Jason, I sure appreciate it brother and a big Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Awesome Camp Maid product demonstration and what a neat camping accessory. Nice recipe also, Rus. I'm with you on the beans and tomatoes in my chili! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Looking forward to more videos!!
Enjoyed the video Rus. I am going to give this recipe a try minus one thing. Can ya guess? You got it cant put the beans in there, guess it is a Texas thing. lol Got my first Campmaid a few months ago as a gift and have not tried it yet. Thanks for posting looked great.
Glad you enjoyed it Johnny. It will be great without beans. I can eat chili either way and have made it both ways, but with beans is the way we have always made it here, plus it really becomes a one pot meal and very filling. I'm going to be doing more videos using the Campmaid in the next several videos as well as other cast iron related and campfire items I have. Hope you check them out. Thanks for watching Johnny, I appreciate it!
Wow, I can't even imagine 2 degrees! Ron that hurts just thinking about it! Thanks, I appreciate it, and hope you and Paivi try this recipe out. It will warm you right up :)
It was -30 WITHOUT the wind chill here in Maine this past weekend! Your chili would have been perfect to ride out that weather with. Love your videos Rus!!
I'm about as far south as you can go without living in Florida, and it's been another wet blustery day again to day, and it never got below 34°F, but the wind was blowing fierce. I just don't think I could take those sub zero temps. My goodness, how do y'all do it?
LOL, sounds like my kind of weather! It got up to 75° here Friday, and the high Saturday never got out of the 40's, and dipping into the low 30's right now. Makes my bones hurt :)
So many things an amatuer might ask, "why unsalted, why mexican beer, would american beer tasts different? Why did you use a ladle instead of a spoon???!!! Lol. Cooking is all about feeling it. Too many people out there that wanna watch a TH-cam video or two, and be able to cook the "perfect meal."
Thanks Michael, it was so good and right on time with the wet cold day that we shot the video in. Yeah I'm loving the Camp Maid. Stay tuned for more :)
Hi Rus. Boy your camping cooker was super cool ! I have seen that meat at the store and wonder what to do with it and now I know. Ever since I saw the first photo of this yummy chili I have been craving it so bad. It looks amazingly great and I feel strongly that beans belong in the chili. Were you cooking in the backyard this time ? Thanks. :)
I really like it a lot Paivi. Can't wait to show what else you can do with it. That meat is great for chili, stews, soups, etc. Yes to me chili just isn't chili without beans, plus they really help fill you up for full hearty meal. Yep that was the back yard. It's a mess right now. We need to rake the leaves up lol. Thanks for watching Paivi, I appreciate all your support :D
I just had to come back and watch this video once again...then i realized that I never commented...that is a sin...especially on a great chili video like this hungry imposing ...get your stomach a grumblin...mouth a salivatin...pass the cornbread...good video. Thanks again brother for another inspiration. Looks like we both are about to get back into chili season...
+ManLand121 Hey Mart, thanks brother and yes sir it's almost that time of the year again. Nothing else quite warms you up on a cold wet day like a good bowl or two homemade chili!
Oh goodness Russ, just last night I watched probably 20 of your videos, and especially the Frog Bone Chili caught my eye! Now I don't know which one to make, maybe I'll do both!! Great video Russ!!
Wow, thanks for watching the videos, I sure appreciate it! Nothing against the Frog Bone chili at all, but I do hope you give this one a try! It's all that chili should be ;)
That Camp Maid is nice. All the bells and whistles.Great lookin chilli too. I love that stuff. Thanks for all the links regarding the spices as well. Nicely done sir
Thanks for breaking several so-called "competition chili" rules especially, the Texas variety. A lot of those competitions seem to restrict the competitors to three ingredients--beef, water, and chiles. How creative can one be with those rules? I like your recipe. Everyone raves about my chili and it contains a mile-long list of ingredients including "BEANS!!" Keep up the good work.
I guess when Texas chili was born, there wasn't much available to kick the dish up with, so they did the best they could with what they had, but times have changed a lot since those days, and most anyone has access to just about anything that grows to add into their chili or any other dish for that matter. I'm with you about not being able to be very creative with just 3 ingredients going into a chili. I'm 58 years old, and I can remember so well my mother making chili every winter when I was a child, and it always had beans in it. I loved it then and I love it now. Thanks, I appreciate the comment and appreciate you watching the video!
Great looking chili! Seems like it would be a little hard on your cast iron seasoning...And I love your Texas disclaimer! OK OK you Texans make the best chili blah blah blah!
Great cooking unit. I have heard more than once, that cooking an acidic ingredient, like tomatoes, in cast iron brought in an unpleasant flavor to the dish. So I have always cooked my chili in a non cast iron pot. And never an open flame cook out doors. Always on stove top or crock pot.. I may have to try a different cooking method now! Thanks.. We are below zero here now. So it might be a while.
Yeah, it's a real compact unit and perfect for camping. I've never heard that before about acidic ingredients in cast iron bringing an un-pleasant flavor, but I think my chili debunks that myth lol! The reason I say that, is because I made another identical batch this week in a stainless pot and it was good, but not as good. I personally think everything taste better cooked in cast iron, especially the well seasoned ones. Wow, sub zero! I can't even imagine! Thanks for watching!
I know this is a new comment on an older video. The camp gadget cooker is very cool but what I want to comment about is your recipe....it is superb...good job Rus.
i love that you're so friendly and give shout outs to any subscriber who has helped you out ... you're the best!! you've got a lifelong subscriber in me from nepal!! cheers and keep posting new content !!
hey now I love that fold up chimney starter , the whole kit is so cool. it will go right along with your camping videos as well. I like how you seasoned it with what I like to call a homemade "deconstructed chili power" you broke down the ingredients to a great homemade powder and added them all to the chili along with some premade powders, talk about layers of flavor!
Hey Joe, thanks for watching brother! Yes sir, this is one well thought out product and perfect for camping. I actually thought about mixing all the powders together and throw in at one time, but I did want to break it down and explain at the end what I did. So good Joe, and I hope you give this one a try sometime. Thanks for watching brother! I'm anticipating you Steak Ager video. Can't wait to see that one!
Rus, once again, great video. It is definitely chili season! Although here in Ga the weather changes 30 degrees from one day to the next. Keep up the great videos.
The weather has been doing that here also. It was almost 80 degrees today but getting cold again by this weekend. Up and down! Got to love the south ;)
i understand you are probably busy but i would love to see a "Christmas" style recipe from you this year! also that chili looks amazing and in your opinion, would it make a good chili dog?
I've got other plans for videos this month and next so there will not be a Christmas video this year. Sorry. Yes, you could use this recipe for hotdogs, but I would leave the beans out, and thicken it with a corn starch slurry so it's much thicker for a hot dog. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Rus, that was an awesome cook the Chili looked awesome..i just bought the same thing around the holidays,still have yet to un box it.want to check it out..thanks for the review..
Thanks Cris! This chili is perfect on a cold day, and you are going to love the CampMaid. My most recent video shows using the grill grate that comes with it, and what all it's designed for.
Thanks, glad you enjoy them. I'm going to try and catch up on the written recipes for my website. You will find it there when I get it done. www.smokyribs.com
I put a lot of time and effort into these videos and these videos tell you everything and every ingredient you need to know. It is the recipe. Just pause and take notes. If I had a ton of time to do a printable recipe, I would, but I seriously invest a ton of time into the actual videos and present them in a way that you can easily follow. Hope you understand and thanks for watching.
You got a Campmaid? Awesome! We are going camping later on in the week, and I'm bringing mine and other campfire cooking tools as well. Love doing this sort of cooking!
Hi Rus, Really love this video and the looks of the chili. All those heat peppers are my brand of fun! Quick question. We don't use alcohol to cook with or otherwise, and I'm wondering what you suggest as a suitable substitute for all that liquid? Cheers! Linc Wilder
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. So you know, alcohol burns completely out of the beer only leaving flavor, but it can be replaced with just water. Not as good, but will work fine
It's all good, Rus. Thirty years of hard-won sobriety here. Water will work just fine for me! Might be a good episode idea, talking about cooking with alcohol. It's an interesting topic for many people. Cheers! LW
Rus, Could you tell me where you got the griddle for your Weber grill? Also, the chili cook was the bomb. Thanks for all you do. J. Smithson Suffolk Va.
I actually won the griddle from a contest that Greg from Ballistic BBQ had over 3 years ago, and there are only 3 like it, but the good news, is that Greg is now partnered with Craycort and they are producing and selling these from the Craycort website here: www.cast-iron-grate.com/bbq-accessories/ballistic-griddles.html Thanks, I appreciate you watching the video!
I'm assuming you were talking about the one I've used in several videos. There is a newer griddle that I used in the camping video, but it's made by a different company. I have a link in the description box on that video
Thanks for the video!! Just purchased the camp maid Dutch oven set up, along with the 8 and 10 inch ovens also. Looking forward to cooking with them. Are you going to make any more videos using the Dutch oven? It's going to be a new adventure for me.
Your welcome, and congrats on buying the new Campmaid set up! Yes, matter of fact, we are going on a 4 day camping trip this week for fresh water fishing, camping and of course cooking. I hope to shoot up to 3 different videos, and I will be using the Campmaid in at least two of them I know, possibly all three, so stay tuned. :)
Thanks, I appreciate it! The Camp Maid actually makes it very easy compared to the older methods of dealing with cast iron. Can't wait to use it again. :)
And now I can safely say that I'm glad I haven't picked up a Dutch oven yet. If I *had* one now, I think it'd officially be retired with the Camp Maid. All of that innovation... Amazing. This video gave me several "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" moments, too!
Rus, your respect for Hispanic ingredients, makes you an honorary brother, thanks for understanding the complexity of spices that we love and adding your great twist.
Chili with beans is one of my favorite foods, EVER!!! In Texas we fix it with beans. My chili is not over cooked. It’s all done in within 60 minutes, basically cooking time for browning meat and bean cooking time. I DO NOT use anything canned!
It's very well built and though out. The price really isn't that bad. I'll be shooting more videos soon showing other things you can do with this set. Yes, canned beans are already cooked, so you want your chili pretty much cooked before adding them in, and just go about another 30 minutes.
Man Rus, that was the perfect day to do a chili recipe!! Crappy weather always makes outdoor cooking more fun and the food taste better in my opinion!!! That Dutch Oven set up is very cool!
It sure was, and just happened to turn out like that. I really didn't want to shoot a video outside with all that cold rain blowing around, but we protected the cameras and gear and let it roll.

I'm needing that Camp Maid set-up in the back of my Jeep! Great cook Rus!
Greg, the Camp Maid is so practical and convenient, and works like a champ! Thanks Greg, I appreciate it brother!
WOW RUSS!! great looking chili. i'm gonna have to try this. you're right though. trinidads are HOT!! it was my first year growing them. also my laptop died but i've bought a new pc and plan on cranking out some good food vids right after christmas. thank you sooo much for remembering me. i'm looking forward to more vids.

man, i can already feel the warmth... looking outside, take a hot bowl and just feel it hug you.. oh my
It sure is good on a cold windy wet day. It will warm you right up.
That's so cool. Camp Maid really thought through that design. It's like the swiss army knife of dutch oven cooking. Thanks for the video, Rus. Merry Christmas to you and your people down there in Mississippi.

Thanks Chris, me too brother!
Awesome Awesome Awesome! I love to cook with cast iron. Chill looked very tasty..Subscribed!
Thanks so much, I sure appreciate that, and thank you for subscribing!
This is great ! Love your channel. I will have to try out dehydrating the peppers.

very nice chili Rus, I'm sold on that Camp maid! I can't wait to see what else you're going to cook with it.
Thanks Michael, it was so good and right on time with the wet cold day that we shot the video in. Yeah I'm loving the Camp Maid. Stay tuned for more :)
Pickled serrano peppers? I think fresh would be a better way to go, IMO. Other than that..... good recipe.
You did an excellent job on the chili...Now I want to see what else the cast iron set you have has to offer. Keep em comin' Sir jones
Very nice Rus, sending you and T and the family lots of hugs and smooches for the holidays!
Thanks Booger! You and yours have a great Christmas!
They really did think of it all. Wouldn't mind seeing some cast iron crock cooks for when we're all campin! Or to go along with other cooks
Hi Rus. Boy your camping cooker was super cool ! I have seen that meat at the store and wonder what to do with it and now I know. Ever since I saw the first photo of this yummy chili I have been craving it so bad. It looks amazingly great and I feel strongly that beans belong in the chili.

great video thanks!!...not a fan of the gizmo tho...cast iron pot on the weber SO much easier...
I just had to come back and watch this video once again...then i realized that I never commented...that is a sin...especially on a great chili video like this hungry imposing ...get your stomach a grumblin...mouth a salivatin...pass the cornbread...good video. Thanks again brother for another inspiration. Looks like we both are about to get back into chili season...

That Camp Maid is nice. All the bells and whistles.Great lookin chilli too. I love that stuff. Thanks for all the links regarding the spices as well. Nicely done sir
Thanks Russ! I appreciate you stopping by and watching brother! Merry Christmas!
Like before watch!
Thanks, I appreciate the like
chili needs 3 hour cook, 1 hour cool down and taste better the next day.
美国人好幸福阿~
Noone better on youtube! Nice video, buddy. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep watchin! OOH WEE!
Thank you, I sure appreciate that :)
Hi Rus, that looks like a delicious chilli you made, been a while since I've had Chili but it sure warms you up in the winter time.
Angie it was so good and especially on a wet cold miserable day. I see another batch of this coming very soon lol
How much meat did you use? Like 2-3 pounds?
Thanks for breaking several so-called "competition chili" rules especially, the Texas variety.

Thanks for the sub!
Great looking chili! Seems like it would be a little hard on your cast iron seasoning...And I love your Texas disclaimer! OK OK you Texans make the best chili blah blah blah!
Thanks, I appreciate you watching! Didn't hurt the cast iron at all.
Just made this, minus the hot goodies (and on the stove)..... Very very delicious!!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
+Rich Pedro Your welcome and thanks for the feed back
Any guess on the amount of meat? Why no recipe in the description any more?

Try using Mayocoba beans instead of Kidney beans

Add a spoonful of baking soda to the meat, keeps meat moist
That's what I'm talk'n about. Good Job.
+LifeBuzzN Thanks, I appreciate you watching
Nice piece of equipment Rus, if you're ruffing it, but ruffing it to me is a holiday inn....LOL
In the world of cast iron cooking, the Camp Maid products really add a lot to the experience. I'm loving this set.
enjoy your videos very much, do you have a ingredant list for your chili i can copy and keep 4 when i make it? just wondering, ray lowery
Thanks, glad you enjoy them. I'm going to try and catch up on the written recipes for my website. You will find it there when I get it done. www.smokyribs.com
Now thats chili, RUS.....Texas chili is fine, buts that is better.....yum
I've done Chili many ways including Texas style and I always go back to this one. Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
I have to say that Camp Made setup is awesome, great looking chili Rus with or without beans.
It really is Tom, and it does much more than this. Thanks Tom!
after watching a few of their videos i can't help but to subscribe. the food looks amazing!
Thank you for subscribing, I hope you enjoy the videos!
making chili in a hard rainstorm. can life get any better? seriously!
Just subscribed, looks like a few great nights watching good stuff..
Thanks for subbing and enjoy the videos!
It would be very helpful if you would make a recipe for your delicious meals. Thank you
I put a lot of time and effort into these videos and these videos tell you everything and every ingredient you need to know. It is the recipe. Just pause and take notes. If I had a ton of time to do a printable recipe, I would, but I seriously invest a ton of time into the actual videos and present them in a way that you can easily follow. Hope you understand and thanks for watching.
That looks really good and I'm gettin' that CampMaid set up! By the way, i just checked (02/19/2020) and the full shebang is on sale!
that is a great looking pot, love the ideas with the peppers, the chili looks awesome
Thanks Jimmy! You can tweak the flavor of any chili using different chili powders of your own making.
*AmAmAm. Appetizing Work. Happy Holidays.*
Thanks! Happy holidays to you
I'm hungry! That Chili looks delicious and it is so Cold down here in Houston!!
Thanks, it was so good! I should have made a double batch lol :)
Looks like wonderful stuff.
Always great to put some chili on when it's cold
Yes sir, nothing better on a cold wet day
Hey just got mine in the mail i'm about to make some pork chops do or cook something in it
You got a Campmaid? Awesome! We are going camping later on in the week, and I'm bringing mine and other campfire cooking tools as well. Love doing this sort of cooking!
I want one of those Camp Maid set ups but can't find it as on item on Amazon. I may want two actually.

Hi Rus,
Really love this video and the looks of the chili. All those heat peppers are my brand of fun! Quick question. We don't use alcohol to cook with or otherwise, and I'm wondering what you suggest as a suitable substitute for all that liquid?
Cheers!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. So you know, alcohol burns completely out of the beer only leaving flavor, but it can be replaced with just water. Not as good, but will work fine
It's all good, Rus. Thirty years of hard-won sobriety here. Water will work just fine for me!
Might be a good episode idea, talking about cooking with alcohol. It's an interesting topic for many people.
Cheers!

I dont like a chilli with beans, but I am tri sexual, I try everything
TMI 🤣
Rus,
Could you tell me where you got the griddle for your Weber grill? Also, the chili cook was the bomb. Thanks for all you do.

I actually won the griddle from a contest that Greg from Ballistic BBQ had over 3 years ago, and there are only 3 like it, but the good news, is that Greg is now partnered with Craycort and they are producing and selling these from the Craycort website here: www.cast-iron-grate.com/bbq-accessories/ballistic-griddles.html Thanks, I appreciate you watching the video!
I'm assuming you were talking about the one I've used in several videos. There is a newer griddle that I used in the camping video, but it's made by a different company. I have a link in the description box on that video
Thanks for the video!! Just purchased the camp maid Dutch oven set up, along with the 8 and 10 inch ovens also. Looking forward to cooking with them. Are you going to make any more videos using the Dutch oven? It's going to be a new adventure for me.
Your welcome, and congrats on buying the new Campmaid set up! Yes, matter of fact, we are going on a 4 day camping trip this week for fresh water fishing, camping and of course cooking. I hope to shoot up to 3 different videos, and I will be using the Campmaid in at least two of them I know, possibly all three, so stay tuned. :)
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Cool! Good luck and have fun on the trip! I will be looking out for the videos. Thanks again!
What's the table you are using in the video? I love this setup & would like to do the same but with the table.
I found that table at Walmart about 6 years ago.
so it's 2 in the morning, snowy as hell and the stores are closed.. and now i'm hungry..
Sorry :) Hope you make a big pot of chili when the stores open back up tomorrow
Wow im not a chili person but your skills change my mind
Well thanks, I sure appreciate that :)
Great looking food as always sir but man that device looked like a beating to use!
Thanks, I appreciate it! The Camp Maid actually makes it very easy compared to the older methods of dealing with cast iron. Can't wait to use it again. :)
Question - how do you maintain a cast-iron dutch oven? Do you have to season it like a pan?
Most cast iron you buy now days comes pre-seasoned, but if you buy cast iron that isn't then yes, you have to season it.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And now I can safely say that I'm glad I haven't picked up a Dutch oven yet. If I *had* one now, I think it'd officially be retired with the Camp Maid. All of that innovation... Amazing. This video gave me several "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" moments, too!
Dan, you would love the Camp Made setup! Can't wait to show on video what else it can do. Thanks for watching Dan, I sure appreciate it!
Nothing like a bowl of chili on a cold dreary day, Rus.
You got that right! It really hits the spot :)
i liked chili
looks delicious
and unbeliveable that you have bad weather Rus
Thanks, it's one of my favorites! Yes we get bad weather from time to time, and hurricanes too ;)
Chili looks great rus just can't do the heat but i will be trying this!!
Thanks Gary! It wasn't that spicy, but you can always tame it down to your liking. Enjoy!
That looks good, not chili since it has beans, so I don't know what to call it, but it looks tasty.
🙄
Rus, your respect for Hispanic ingredients, makes you an honorary brother, thanks for understanding the complexity of spices that we love and adding your great twist.
Looks great.. personally, I'll leave out the peeled tomato and the beans...
looks like a very nice chili "base" to work off of!
Very nice version! I can imagine that Trinidad pepper is something you tread lightly with.
Rus, I love your Cookin'. Thumbs up!
Thank you Lisa! I sure appreciate the comment :)
I need a PhD to set this up. lol
All of your recipes leave my mouth watering.
That's a nifty unit, lots of features. Chili looked excellent Rus. I will o check out 2BitesMore.
It really is Steve, and does more than what this video shows. More to come brother!
Looking forward to really see it in action. I am watching 2MoreBites now. Looks like he is working out of a Commercial Kitchen.
You would think by now I would know better than to watch your channel when I'm hungry! All this drool is going to short out my laptop!
Your 2 cups of water could be a 16oz can of back of the truck beer
I added Mexican beer at 6:17
Now that looks good. It would be great for this time of year.
Thanks, it really hit the spot on that cold wet day
This is complicated. Looks delicious though.
Not really complicated, but there is some preparing in advance before you make this, if you make your own chili powders
Awesome 👏.. I woul like to be your neighbor
Looks like the houses in Oklahoma
that's a great product
It sure is. It was well thought out
Cook with THC next time
???
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine yeah man I was thinking like a nice rack of ribs Whith spicy barbecue infused with THC that would be awesome/dope
Let me know how it turns out, lol :)
Damn I'M Hungry.
That campmaid thid sure looked to be useful! Nice chilli aswell..
Cheers Rus!
Thanks Elton. The Camp Maid is great, and I'm really enjoying it. Cheers!
Man I was just thinking about chili.. thanks Rus
Your welcome, thanks for watching Steve!
Chili with beans is one of my favorite foods, EVER!!!
In Texas we fix it with beans.
My chili is not over cooked.
It’s all done in within 60 minutes, basically cooking time for browning meat and bean cooking time.
I DO NOT use anything canned!
BS, Texas bowl of Red has no beans.
Cool setup!
That cooker looks really well built and expensive.. Never knew to let everything simmer for 2 hours before adding beans. Good deal. Looks so good!
It's very well built and though out. The price really isn't that bad. I'll be shooting more videos soon showing other things you can do with this set. Yes, canned beans are already cooked, so you want your chili pretty much cooked before adding them in, and just go about another 30 minutes.
Fantastic video, and Fantastic recipe. Thank you very much. I also love the camp-kit. Ten thumbs up!
