chili

[padge31]

I sure this has been asked before. I am planning on doing some chili either with brisket or a chuckie as the meat. How far do I smoke the meat before pulling it off so it doesn't end up shredded in the chili?

Thanks

I've always cooked the meat to full probe tender.Then after chili is fully cooked added diced meat to just heat throughout.

I smoke a flat and some pork butt slices a couple weeks ago to make chili with. I pulled them a little short of probe tender, vacuumed sealed them and into the freezer until ready to make chili. Last weekend I pulled them out, chopped them into chunks and added them to the chili as I was simmering it. Ended up great.

For the first time, I used real dried chiles to make the chili. The flavor was great. Needed more heat in my opinion, but good for a first try. I followed the following recipe:
