The slow cooker is 8 1/2 quarts so this is about 2 gallons. Got some nice CAB shoulder roast on sale for 2.89/lb. Seasoned it with a little cumin and The Rub Co. Santa Maria, and let it air dry over night in the fridge. The beans were soaked over night as well, and started first thing this morning. Put the roasts on the kettle indirect for a couple hours for smoke, then gave them a sear. They were about 140 IT and rested a bit while I chopped an onion, bell pepper, diced a couple large jalapenos, minced some garlic cloves, then cubed the beef. into the pot with the beans. Added Big Ron's chili spice mix and let it go. After three hours three cans of diced tomatoes and a small can of tomato paste went in. At the end in a couple more hours I'll add a little masa harina. It's smelling pretty good in the house right now...

George, the smoke flavor adds a wonderful dimension to the dish. It makes it a little more complicated cook, but it is so much better than just browning first. Try it!

That looks serious good Brother. Did you cook the beans at all first or just cook it all together? I normally do mine in a big pot on the stove for several hours. I have always been concerned that the beans wouldn't cook enough if the weren't pre cooked. Input would be appreciated.

Yep. I soaked the beans in salted water over night, then rinsed and started them in the crock pot and let them cook for several hours before I added the meat, vegetables and spices. Tomatoes went in for the last couple hours or so. I always precook my beans and try not to add to much acid to the pot at first.
