Let's try to make chili!

I signed up to make mild-ish chili for Friday.  I like to take the maximum time to cook anything.  :)  Please shout out suggestions as I make a mess of the kitchen.  
 
I'm going to start with five meats.  Ribs, previously smoked pork butt, ground lean something, sausage and bacon. 
 
The bacon will be cooked tomorrow.  The grease will be used to cook the other meats.  Then I will sweat down some peppers and onions in the same pan.
 
In the pot will go the usual suspects and some surprises (PB2, bakers chocolate, clamato?).  I'm going to go with one can of black beans and one can of kidney beans - which should make it a light bean chili.  Then I am going to let it rest overnight before bringing it in Friday.  I'll post everything that goes in.  
 
Tonight's goal was to start the ribs.  To be continued...

Grats! Didn't realize you were entering something. Was it sanctioned? Or a local deal?
