What is an efficient way to keep chili hot at a tailgate-type party? What is a good way to transport it so it stays hot without buying fancy equipment? Once it is there, how do you keep it hot for several hours? Thank you for reading this and for any suggestions!
Bring a propane grill, and set the vat on top to keep at a low simmer. You could transport it hot with the vat wrapped in towels inside a cooler if it will fit. Stuff in blankets to fill all the empty space. Not sure how long it will stay at a safe temp. So if you have far to go before you can set up and get it back on the fire, you might be better off cooking it there. I would cook it there myself if it's an all day kind of party.
One large crock pot, one power inverter (have to get one that is at minimum 250W+ which costs approx. $35-40), and if it is cold outside then a styrofoam cooler that fits the crockpot inside and cut a hole for the cord. This is our go to for our tailgate parties!

This is the best answer.. You probably spent that much on ingredients fo the chili, so might as well dish it out for the inverter. Plus you will neve have this problem again.
Standard camp cooler, it will keep it hot for hours as long as the lid is closed. Once there you could use 3-4 sterno cans under it to keep it hot. Will need to stir often if it is chilly outside.
Yes! That seems like it would be handy for all kinds of things!
