Hmm, who do I root for? I have no dog in this fight, but I’m seeing some pretty talented cooks that will probably have some tricks up their sleeve on both sides excluding the event organizer. You know PJ can only cook with Good Seasons or that Tony’s stuff. Greg Rempe wanted to know if anyone was cooking pineapple or chori-pollo?

Wait. Reading through the thread I get the sense it's only for similar dimensions 18". So me with the lil' ol' 14" cooker is disqualified cuz I don't have the right size? Let me know as I will then not share my top secret cook planned for Saturday. #heartbroken.Comment

Sorry guys and gals, I just learned that I'm out of the smackdown this weekend. We have a birthday party for my granddaughter tomorrow in town and have to help one of our daughters move on Sunday. God speed, team PBC. May the Bronco team spend the day chasing temps and fending off foul smoke so that freedom prevails 😂.Comment

Note: I moved this posting to the Smackdown thread ............my booboo posting here.
Here in Texas, as well as across most of the Southern US, a breakfast staple is biscuits and gravy. So, I thought, why not do it up proud on the almighty Bronco. Let's see what happened.
Given the configuration I chose the cook went in shifts. First gravy, then biscuits, and finally the egg topper. The basis for the gravy is sausage meat; breakfast sausage or any other style you enjoy, but most often.........if not a law...........some kind of pork sausage.
Once those luscious little lumps of piggy get browned, use the renderings, or supplement with butter if it's leanish, and pour in flour and half/half while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook to thickness desired, but remember it will set up more as it begins to cool.
Next is the part where the configuration of the Bronco works to our advantage with the nicely domed lid. When closed this becomes an oven, similar to what some folks are familiar with on their kamados. This pic was just a couple minutes shy of done. When done they had a rich, golden color. I'd claim these are home made, but a little puffy white dude did assist a bit.
And can it really be breakfast without some egg? This is the slightly tricky part because I prefer a fully cooked but soft egg with a runny yolk and no burned bottom. The Bronco delivered..................................yet again.
Pull everything together on the plate and break the yolk for that mandatory cascade of gold for the money shot......
The last couple cooks, this one and the one with the wok, have been done with the help of the attachment you see here. It's a knockoff of the Arteflame cook top/insert, this one in stainless instead of rolled steel plate. The removable center grate is what enabled the wok station, and for this type of cooking it allows direct heat instead of radiant for heating a pan. It's offered by a company called Skyflame, though appears to be out of stock. Rolled steel ones are available from Arteflame and Titan Outdoors. It also works well for steaks and veggies, the steak done indirect on the solid part then finished for sear on the center. Pic from an earlier cook attached. Again, having the grate at rim level makes it so useful.

So I have been thinking about this event and it occurred to me that the smackdown aims to swell the ranks of Bronco owners (duh?)! But it's also familiar to hazing ritual as part of initiation to the OJB cult. However the only way to really join is to get a Bronco. So Panhead John needs to get it together and develop a prize. I know you would rather die than gift a PBC so the choice is clear. The only way to get us PBCers to join your cult is to gift one of us a Bronco.

It occurs to me that the PBC owners are SO DESPERATE to get an OJB that they are doing everything thing they can to get a free one sponsored by Panhead John . …can’t say as I blame them. PJ, I don’t have a lot of money, but I may be able to send you a couple of bucks to help cover the cost of bringing a fellow pit master to the right barrel cooking team……. 🤣🤣🤣Comment

Appreciate that RB! You’re a good man. I’m brainstorming right now. Don’t worry, that never takes very long with me. 😂 -
If Panhead John ends up contributing a prize, I'll split the cost with him.
(just don't touch my PBC, Varmints!) -
Livermoron What a great and kind offer! Just shows the kind of people we have here in The Pit! I’ve got an idea though about the prize….I’m gonna post something tomorrow. Hold that thought.
P.S. I’m definitely giving a Bronco prize, no doubt.Last edited by Panhead John; July 31, 2022, 02:37 PM.
