Well, when I make chili using about 2.5 pounds of meat, I put in 10 Tb. of
chili powder and chile powder. Hmmm....10 Tb. of cayenne might get a slight
rise from some members of this list :-)
Seriously, a combination of chili powders and ground chiles of varying
flavors and heat will allow you to give a very personal flavor to your chili
gravy. The challenge is to get even - front to back - heat without any
residual bitterness.
My site desparately needs updating (password problems), but you might want
to give it a visit for recipes and other fun chili stuff:
