2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 350°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
Place your Dutch oven directly onto 5-8 coals. Then, add 10–15 coals around your Dutch oven. Add more coals as needed.
Next, add your olive oil and onions to the Dutch oven. Sauté for 3 minutes to bring out the aroma.
Add your crushed tomatoes and water and stir well. Then, add your favorite brisket and remaining chili ingredients and stir well. Cover your Dutch oven and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Next, add your slurry mixture to thicken your chili. Stir in and cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove your Dutch oven from the coals and serve immediately.
