I can understand the peanut oil. I used it as my primary oil before I
discovered Canola. You can cook at higher heat with peanut oil (brown
your meat) without creating smoke.

I can see where the stew and ground type would make a "thick" chili,
but I can do that w/o using two cuts of meat. It doesn't matter
anyway. The days of meat only or meat dominate chili are over for a
lot of us.
