***MODERATOR'S NOTE:***
The rules do NOT state anywhere that entries MUST be cooked outdoors, but rather, using outdoor type cookers and fuel sources:
[FONT="][FONT="][FONT="]4. Entries must be grilled or smoked during the cooking process, or must prominently feature grilled or smoked ingredients which you prepared. Photos of your food on the grill or smoker are encouraged but not required (we love action shots). Using a gas grill is perfectly acceptable, unless a particular category requires the use of a wood or charcoal cooker. Additionally, other forms of wood or gas cooking are fine, which would include a wood fired fireplace (indoor or outdoor), a firepit(gas or wood fired), and other gas/propane powered cookers like pizza ovens, flat tops, and griddles.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="][FONT="]Even an indoor fireplace is acceptable. In other words...if you want to cook in your garage, as long as you are using a cooker or fuel that is designed for outdoor use you're good to go.
