Winter storm preps

Got plenty of smoked chili, beer, and wine. I'm ready.

Oh yeah, the truck's windshield is covered too.

 

Chili? Mmmmmm!

 

Yeahhh! This is around a five beer minimum process. Start heating the chili in dutch ovens on the stove while the smoker fires up (oak). Beer. Baseball sized meatballs on grates over the chili for ~45 minutes, then mash 'em up and stir 'em in. Beer. Cook chili uncovered for about an hour. Beer. Then simmer covered a couple more hours. Adjust beer accordingly (at least two).
