Here's one of the few things I can cook and it really comes out good.

Dear sir,

Sounds very good, but (a) where do you obtain mesquite, and (b) where do you build an open fire in Noo Yawk Siddy?

Sincerely yours,

Mrs H.

You can't.

The lesson, of course, is that one cannot make good (or at least, the best) Chili in NYC.

That'll work. I use any kind of hot peppers that the store has and we
usually have a nice choice of fresh and dried chiles. I don't worry
about the mesquite ash. If I'm cooking this on mesquite coals the ash
takes care of itself. Some folks around here think the best fire is
made with cow chips. In a pinch my propane fired stove does pretty
good too. I use Texas 1051 onions when they are in season. Usually
they are so big that one will do. I don't really measure when I cook
chile, but I taste a lot. If the peppers are hot it helps to have a
can of beer handy. After awhile if you drink enough beer you won't
care what the chili tastes like. Your recipe passes though: no beans
and no tomatoes.
