Notes
*Winner Bob Wetzel orders his spices from Sespe Creek Chili Potters, run by former ICS champion Jim Beaty. You can substitute spices from Penderys, Gebhardt, or your favorite manufacturer. Bob also adds ½ of a boneless pork chop to the chili pot while simmering and removes it a half hour before it's finished.
