Here's the proposal!

Pick an upcoming weekend that works for both of you. On Friday night and Saturday you cook (on the Eggs). Take pictures as you go of everything. On Sunday morning you post the pron.

And we get to look and then vote on a winner! Kind of like a People's Choice!

Come on guys do it for us!

Anyone else want to encourage them?

Anyone else with an Egg want to play along?

Larry, I think Thats a great idea, but you have to open it to the rest... Swamp, Smoking Gator, Arlin, JD, Hiloboy...
Sounds like fun!

That sounds pretty cool. This type of idea could extend to UDS challenges and all sorts of long distance contests. Could be quite fun.

I can't do it next weekend as I am taking my Florida Educational Leadership Exam (prayers please). I'm in after that. My money is on Rick though as his pics take his cooking to another level (and we all know the boy can cook)!!!

How about the Brethren Smoking Challenge? Each person cooks on their appliance of choice for that group. So the spicewines, uds, egg's, etc cook and show. The winner from each group get to compete another weekend against the winners from the other groups.

Or we could do a tourny style just match people up......That could be fun. Instead of gambling on who would advance we could put money towards one of the cooking charities and to Pooh for site maintenance...

ADD MOD - Good at coming up with ideas but usually need help implementing. And those were the only two that I wrote down. I deleted 4 others......

There's have to be rules though...... No painting the food to look better.

As the instigator of this, I will coordinate the date. If you want to participate in the First Brethren Online Eggfest post your preferred dates in this thread by Wednesday, January 9th.

I'll come up with a real nice certificate of achievement for the winner!

Great idea. Let's do the eggheads first and see how it goes. We can then use that to correct our errors and get something going.

We can set the date and a have a poll setup. Take the kcbs judging guidelines and put them in the poll on appearance. Then we can have someone else weigh in on flavor - maybe someone local - oh that lives 30 or 40 miles away - Likes beer....

I'm not a judge so I don't know what the questions or what they look for.

you mean i have to actually cook? don't you realize all my stuff is airbrushed in photoshop? hahahaha :biggrin:

i think thirdeye wins already. he is my mentor. i'm gonna have to think about this one....

is this open to anything we want to cook?

oh geeeze... i can't take the pressure already! i gotta go pay for my fall bristol race tickets... be back later, guys..............

Modesty becomes you :rolleyes:

Geez, Rick... The judging is based on pron. You're the king of pron around here. You could that a McRib and make it look fantastic! :-D

Having said that, I am up for the challenge. This coming weekend is OK with me as long as I can cook on Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise I have Sundays open for the next couple of weeks after that.

I think it should be open to all smokers...not just eggs. It's about the "pron"...not the equipment. We should contact the Food Network and get some national coverage! :biggrin: Also...no Photoshop. :twisted:

This is working very well on another forum I know of with a few differences:


it is open to all types of cookers made for outdoor use that uses gas, charcoal, wood, or logs but one of the pics must include a pic of the items on the cooker.
someone prior to the event chooses a short list of ingredients which must be included in the cook.
a date from and to is chosen in which the contestents may post their cook which eliminates the event from falling on a particular date that is not available for someone that wants to be in it.
all forum members get to vote on the entries by pm'ing someone chosen before hand and the votes are to be in a 1 to 5 format.

So if someone wants to coordinate an all cooks type of event I'll hand this thread off.

dude, i already post everything i cook on the eggs on here, but it could be an interesting event. there is the little problem i have in that it's just me here, so i have to eat everything i cook, although i get help sometimes from the neighbors and friends and the people down at the bar.

you want to see more rick pron? are ya sure? it ain't gonna be pretty, but i am what i am! :biggrin:

Do you think we should require the pron to have a copy of the day's newspaper to show that the food is not from the archives? *hostage mod*

Same here bro. A friend of mine, Kathleen Kelley, a local reporter here for a long time always wore big hats. I asked her one day about it thinking she did it just as a trademark thingie, but she told me it was all about protecting herself from skin cancer. She never went outside without one. That is good advice. I now wear one almost all the time too. Another benefit is it protects you from a bad hair day.:oops:

BOT: I'm putting my money on RTD. We have some great cooks here and some excellent photographers too, but Rick's stuff is hard to beat. This should be interesting.

I see where you're coming from, but surely this wouldn't be necessary. Especially since there is no money involved. If somebody wants to cheat in what is essentially a pr0n exhibition, then I feel sorry for them.

I think there should be a rating system like a KCBS event. Maybe not a rating per se, but general thoughts as to how to cast your vote. Its all subjective, but lets make this about more than just pictures.

Appearance (the pron)
Use of Cooker/Equipment (Creativity, complexity, etc.)
Creativity of Dish (combination of ingredients, overall theme, etc.)

No worries there my friend. I'm trying to dig up a picture from last year of me in my Flaming Pig Apron, Pork Pie, and a fat stogie sticking out of my mouth - that's a scary look.

I think I know a certfied judge not too far from Rick and someone else that can provide the wash between tastings...... Plowboy do you have anyone you can "trust" nearby?

What does the winner get? How about a shirt that says "I Got Beat By Rick/Plowboy's Smoked Meat!"

You know we might just start a cost effective comp tradition this way.

Maybe the easiest way to do this is each one takes no more than 5 pictures in a white styrofoam container showing grain, bark, etc. We'll make it anonymous by posting through a designated undisclosed brethren.

Honor system - No PHOTOSHOP! Unless it's phil's mug somewhere in the picture. Then everyone votes. Not a comparison. Just pure poll on impressions of the food.

What do you think? If there's tasting like I said Curt's(certified judge) only 30 miles from Rick and we could probably find a volunteer to back him up.

Plowboy I'm not sure where you live in conjunction to the other brethren but food usually draws them out.

Thoughts? Feedback?

Norcoredneck
01-09-2008, 10:24 PM
Thought it started out as a "Virtual Comp". If someone set up a Photobucket account and participants sent pics to him and he posted. Food should be displayed on common paper plates to disguise photo techniques. No airbrush no photoshop, all in good fun.

one of the major things i do to my photographs in photoshop is resize the image to 800x600 pixels and reduce the file size to something manageable from 3.5 MB. if i can't do that, then i can't play. other mods i typically do are sharpen image and bump up the saturation, but it's not drastically different from the original image.

is this supposed to be just the four kcbs categories or what?

i'm gonna have to forfeit as this is getting way too complicated. like i said, i already post all my pron on here anyway and the original purpose of the challenge was for more pron.
