Practicing this weekend.
Chicken chili is dialed in the only tweak is to back off on the heat, going from 1 tsp on cayenne to 1/2 tsp.
Smoked chicken thighs, braised in chicken stock until they fell apart, then built the chili on top of that.

The gold medal chili is quite a bit of prep. 2 hours of slicing, dicing, measuring.
Just tasted it and the heat is perfect with the different layers.
I forgot to get a bottle of IPA and ended up using an old bottle of Sam Adams Octoberfest. That will need to change for the competition.

I have friends coming up this weekend to critique and will be taking a couple bowls up to the cook at the Channel to see what he says.

Never back off on the heat

Good luck to all the participants, really looking forward meeting everyone!

BAHAHA! 😂😂 That is great, Dad!! Hopefully the chili recipes aren’t quite THAT hot!
🔥🔥

Steve, are you bringing the flame retardant TP? Or should I? 😬🔥

We might need some TP from Deer Camp. It’s made from Asbestos and Kevlar.

There are too many IPAs to pick from. How do you pick? I have over 12 different ones in the beer fridge right now if you need to sample some.

I’ll come by and hand select something

and FYI – Every Chili cooker better bring their “A” game.
Just saying

Update: 6 guys making chili and about 14 to coming taste test. So about 20 total so far!

I was really thinking we’d have a bigger turn out. If you’re planning to come and haven’t let me know, please do so by replying to this thread, sending me a message on here, or text and FB too if you have those! All are welcome! An approximate head count will be helpful for making sure the chili cookers know about how much to make and that we have enough bowls and spoons!

Looking forward to this and can’t wait to eat some chili!

Sharon I been trying to make one of these since you started them.

It looks like I may actually make this this one.

Been here since the days of fish the river. Never post much as I’m still a river apprentice and could not contribute much meaningful info.

Awesome, Ron! It will be fun to meet you!

Only 10 days away!!

Would someone be willing to bring some paper towels? Maybe just a roll or two? And we could use some assorted fixings – shredded cheese, Fritos, crackers, sour cream, etc – if someone could help with that too!

~ I will make cornbread to share and will plan to bring garbage bags.
~ Steve Root and wife Mona will bring bowls and spoons.
~ Rodwork will plan to bring power strips and electrical cords.

Sharon, I’ll bring those items along with an assortment of cold beers!

So I was holding out hope to make one of these also. But we are going up duck hunting for opener so I can’t make it. Have fun guys. Sharon thanks for being the one to organize these events, one of these days I will get to one and meet up with more of you guys. Maybe something in the north metro next time.

same here, I had full intentions of going to this till plans got changed.

My peppers didn’t make it in my garden. So last night I drove down to my brother’s house and a buddy’s house to raid their gardens. I have what I need. Thanks Sharon for taking care of all this. I am looking forward to winning the event , taking home the $250 cash prize, meeting James Holst and more IDOers. Hopefully a couple more people will join at the last second.

FYI – I know we have a couple coming up from Iowa so if anyone plans on making bullhead chili they will have a couple shoe in votes.

Matt, that couple from Iowa making the bullhead chili isnt going to make it.
Last I heard they test fired some of the chili while they were sitting on empty tin cans when the barrage began and the town folks thought they were being invaded by a thousand harleys with straight pipes.
Twenty two deputies showed up to arrest them all but couldnt find a one of them.

However, Sparklesonthewater and yours truly will be there!!
If the 4 hour ride doesnt destroy my back we plan on stopping by your place to try out a couple of your mojito’s and maybe even one or three of your sangrias.

Hope to meet that rootski fella and his beautiful daughter that has taken so much time to arrange this for everyone.
As far as meeting that there Holst feller,,,,,well shucks, I guess you could call that a privilege !! Razzn ya James !!

OH COME ON !! who else is going to show up ??!!!
we are going to drive 8 hours round trip, there has to be a bunch of IDO folks who live closer than we do !!

How about if we bring some shop shirts and give away a couple of solas props??
you will have to buy the hub to fit your motor.

Wish i was but $hit changes and there you go.I will be there in spirit though.

Well I am gonna try my hardest to make it there!! Gots to meet a few friendly faces and put them to names

I will be there with chili (and beers) in-hand! Very much looking forward to meeting everyone

Question, I know someone said there will be power strips. What’s the power situation like at your average picnic shelter? I know I have to play circuit roulette in my kitchen if I need two or more plugged in at one time. Hope we don’t trip a breaker we cant access.

Any extras/fixins still needed?

Sharon said the power situation is not bad. I will be bringing 2x 50’ 12 awg cords and a power strip for each one. It sounded like we may not even need the cords.

Attached are some photos of the pavilion. There are several beefy looking outlets on each of the rock pillars, so we should be good!

Weather looks perfect, but if there is a power situation, the gal gave me the green light to relocate the event to our house just miles away from there.

Will also bring chili and a sampling of beers.

Anyone bringing stink bait? Might be a catfish under that bridge!

I didn’t realize that this is the same day that knotfest is going on. I will be down in Iowa at the slipknot show.
Sheldon I will wave to you when I pass you on 35.
