Chili here in the PNW isn’t just fall or winter food; we have chilly days even in the summer! Smoking on my Pit Boss Pro 1100, cooking low and, slow is how I prefer to cook with it. I picked up my Pitboss at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss themselves. Traeger is an amazing brand but I preferred the cost of Pit Boss instead.

Leftover Smoked Pulled Pork Chili Ingredients:

How To Make Leftover Smoked Pulled Pork Chili On A Pit Boss:

Start out with leftover smoked pork and shred it. (If you need a smoked pork recipe check out my recipes ->here)

You can also pull or cut large chunks of fat to cook in the chili as well if you want to.

Start up your smoker to get the smoke rolling! I set my Pit Boss Pro 1100 to a smoke setting of P4 for the smoke setting. This time around, I used Mesquite Pit Boss Pellets to smoke my beans. (Yes, Walmart is my go-to for pellets. I order enough for free shipping, so they are delivered!)

Money and time-saving tips from the old lady. If you order pellets online from Walmart and spend $35, they will drop them off at your door for free!! Their everyday price on pit boss pellets is amazing, plus the expert grill brand has a great price. (see them ->here)

If you use a preseasoned cast iron Dutch oven, wipe it down with oil to help make sure that it is ready to cook without having stuff stick. I use an old cast iron Dutch oven the old lady picked up for $5, which has worked amazingly well!

An Enameled Cast Iron would work, but the smoke would stain the enamel of the Dutch oven. Also, be sure to know How To Season Your Cast Iron. (You can see my post-> here!

Start to open up your cans, you will want to strain the corn and pinto beans. My chili beans had a sauce, so I did not strain them.

Place in your shredded pulled pork into the dutch oven.

Season with your spices to taste. If your using pork shoulder with a lot of bark you will want to do lighter seasoning on the chili.

Pour in your tallboy of beer and then top with beef broth.

Mix everything throughly.

Set the full dutch oven on your smoker once it is rolling smoke, without a lid, so the smoke can saturate the chili.

Stir the chili every 30 minutes or so to make sure they cook evenly and the smoke flavor penetrates everything.

Allow to slow cook for 3 hours at least (225) or smoke longer on the smoke setting.

I smoked at 200 for 3 hours and then for hours at 225.

Serve and enjoy!

*You can thicken up the chili if you want with 1/4 cup of corn starch and 1 cup of hot water in a small bowl and then mix into the chili a half-hour before serving. If you do not want cornstarch and milk, you can use a roux to thicken the chili. Use equal parts butter and flour. Next, melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave. *
