Smoked Brisket Chili (recipe and video)

Any time I have leftover brisket, I make this chili. It is SO. GOOD. I don't always follow the recipe to the T, but it always turns out great.

I didn't have bacon or beer and opted not to use the bell peppers (don't like them), or the chillis in adobo sauce and it still turned out great. I also used dried beans (my preference), instead of canned (1/2C = 15oz can) and opted to use the slow cooker as Adam's brisket ended up a bit tough this go around, unfortunately.

If you have the time with a good smoker this is the chili that wins awards!!
