re: What Is your favorite chili mix?

I use Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm as well, but is anyone else bothered it ends up kind of powdery or gritty? This doesn't happen with the aforementioned Tabasco liquid chili starter, which I've also used and found pretty good. It's like Wick uses way too much chili powder or something. Googling it just now, I'm not the only one to find this to be true.

The problem with the powdered mixes is that the chili sometimes tastes a little gritty.

"Sometimes" is being deliberately gracious.
