How closely do I have to follow the recipe? Or can I just be inspired by it and go my own way?

Good question - there's nothing in the category description that says you MUST follow the recipe exactly. I will say that a good, solid recipe should need few, if any changes. Hope that helps!

It was my turn to cook for a small group of family and friends so I jumped right into this throwdown. I went on line and found a couple recipes: https://southsidemarket.com/blogs/re...e-potato-boats
and https://www.chilesandsmoke.com/sausage-popper-boats/.
I was "inspired" to combine them using the best parts of both. (One of the guests can't eat real spicy food so I didn't use any green chiles or jalapenos like I normally would have.)
I started with some fresh brats, cut slits and made a well in each.
The next step was to stuff them with a cream cheese, mashed potato, cheddar and garlic concoction.
Then I sprinkled them with Hard Core Carnivore Tex-Mex rub and topped them with feta crumbles.
Into the stick burner they went at 300F for about an hour.
I pulled them when the internal temp hit 165F.
I topped them with chopped green onions and served them with more mashed potatoes and some potato bread and a salad.
Please use the last pic (the one on the plate) for judging.

Been a little bit since I participated in a throwdown but I think this one'll draw me back in.

I went with Uzbek "Tandoori" Chicken from Steven Raichlen's Planet Barbecue book. Recipe and cook details are in the cook thread.
