Captain Saicin's Chili

This is a recipe for an extremely hot chili that I designed myself for an annual fall chili cookoff. Please note that I am not joking when I say it is extremely hot; it's named "Captain Saicin's" (Cap'Saicin) after the chemical compound that makes peppers hot. The Ground Zero sauce is the key ingredient to the Chili's good solid flavor and heat, and can be purchased at some meat markets or online.
