When you make chili...

...what do you use for heat? Obviously chili powder is not enough. I've been using cayenne but considering other peppers.

Cumin is a must. Not really for heat I don't think.
Add some red pepper or cayenne.

I use ancho chiles, cayenne peppers or cayenne pepper powder.
I chop up my cayenne peppers and put 'em on a skillet and let them bubble up and brown themselves. This helps you get more heat for when you put it in you chili.
Also, as a Texan, I need to re-iterate....NO BEANS, NO TOMATOES. That's for yankees and west coast ninnies.
Rice is what I use to bulk it up, if need be. Most south east Texans use rice, and Louisianans.
Good eating, sir.

Make your own chili powder (thread from a few months ago) from whole dried chiles. These give off a nice subtle heat - significantly more heat than storebought chili powder - and will impart a deep rich flavor.
Also, I like to dice up a few roasted and peeled poblanos and use this as the green chile in my recipe. These are milder than jalapenos but if you include some of the seeds you get some (again) subtle heat.
In the CP thread scroll down to the post by PoliticLA. I followed those instructions and made a killer batch of chili with the powder that resulted.

if you make your own chili powder, you can get a little heat, depending on the type of dried peppers you use. i also add a little cayenne or red pepper flakes if i want extra heat.

New Mexican red chile-chile de arbol.
On a side note...who in their right fricking mind eats chili with rice? If by SE Texas you mean Beaumont, then you people over there have more problems than I thought.

Get a little can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce from the Mexican aisle of any grocery and it will set your chili flying. Use sparingly as this stuff is nuclear.
