You can make great chili in a crock pot.  The cookware doesn't much 
matter.  What makes the most difference is a variety of meats, imho.  
Ham, bacon, beef, ground pork, etc.  I cut the bacon up in large pieces 
and cook it soft so it is still really juicy & tender and lends a great 
flavor to the chili.  For ham I use ham steaks cubed up.

In a 6 quart batch of chili I use maybe one small can of kidney beans, 
just because some people won't recognize it as chili without them.  But 
they don't add much to the flavor.

There are many other secrets, my Padowan learner, but that should set 
you on the right path.
