BBQ Brethren "Man Sized Meat" Throwdown!

[deguerre]

The rule says no cutting in to individual portions but can the large piece be cut maybe in half for the pic?

Money shot!

The rule says no cutting in to individual portions but can the large piece be cut maybe in half for the pic?

Actually the rule states that it must be ONE portion, not that you can't cut into that individual portion. In other words, you can't cook a whole pork loin and then slice an individual portion. You CAN however slice a thick chop from a pork loin and then cook it. On your plated picture, you can cut into that individual portion, like say a fork shot to show the texture/doneness of your meat.

...The thing I really hate is someone forgets to take a picture of their raw meat and is disqualified, like that is what the people base their vote on. :crazy:

You obviously forgot the winning entry for the "Roasts" Throwdown!:laugh:

Oh I remember that one well and it even came to mind when writing that. I was giving those voters the benefit of the doubt that their comments were really tongue in cheek. :crazy:

 

[Gore]

You'd need a rather large plate for that!:becky:

So not only do we need to roast a whole, unbutchered cow, but we also have to go get new serving plates! Triple-Fark! I suppose the cow is still alive when it goes in the smoker or died of natural causes?

My submission I guess...

Are forks mandatory? Since this is a man-sized portion could I use, say, a harpoon? Or a pitchfork? Wait... That's a fork.

 

[Cack]

OK, so to be a noobie again. What does the winner get? Bragging rights and choice on the next throwdown?

Yes, plus bigabyte will send you a certificate with your name and name of your winning dish that you can print...if he remember's to send it to you:becky:!

No forks are not mandatory and you are more than welcome to use a harpoon in the money shot if you want...you planning on entering a whale steak?:shock:

Alright, I have an idea for this TD unless there are any more special rules that anyone wants to add. Can someone write a "Special Rule Throwdowns for Dummies" so I know exactly how to get DQ'd? I have a cut of meat in the fridge right now. It isn't that big really but I do have to say that it is more than manly in nature. Sadly it is not a "whole" piece, mostly because I blew the chit out of it :tsk:

Wait...where's your Barrett?

Wait...where's your Barrett?

Not needed. I saw what my silly little .243 WSSM did and I can only imagine what a 50 cal would destroy. Besides, I was only shooting 300-400yds. If I needed to clip animals off the next mountain maybe it would have come in handy. Then again, hell if I am gonna hike that thing up a mountain.

 

[deguerre]

My bad. Forgot you were in Wyoming, not Namibia and shooting for horns, not tusks.:becky:

 

[caseydog]

P.S. Does grill type matter? I currently only have a gas grill. My smoker isn't set up for a high temp like a steak would require. If gas is game ... then I'm game.

Like Redhot said, gassers qualify, but I hope you are planning to get a real grill, soon. :becky:

Welcome to the throwdowns!!!

Grilling is fine. Things do not have to be smoked. They can be grilled or smoked. Gas and electric grills/smokers are fine. It's an open, inclusive BBQ contest, with the word BBQ encompassing what most sane people consider BBQ. The fringe that are excluded are crock pots and the like.

There is a rumor out therre that the winner gets a certificate, but don't believe it.

They're fine for the moment, at least until someone says they aren't in some special rule. I'm sure that'll be coming. :mad2:

I'm waiting for the Caveman Campfire Throwdown. No tools or utensils other than crude hand-carved sticks. Everything cooked, even the meat must be gathered by hand using only crude hunting/gathering tools. Open fire. Ugg-ugg-ugga!
