A Bigger And Even Better Smackdown Is Now Planned!….Clear Your Calendar Folks!

[RichieB]

Great expansion of the competition. I'll be a spectator. Good luck with successful cooks and have fun.

[cashelton]

I'll have to sit this one out, but the barrel showdown was a blast...way more fun than I imagined. If you qualify, you should join in!

[Panhead John]

Thanks for the endorsement! We couldn’t have done it without people like you jumping in.

[radiodome21]

I'm in for the pellet side. Since I don't have an offset. I'm thinking ribs.....

[randy.56]

Meathead has to be loving this, I can hear his chuckle. I'm in team pellet. May need to be taught how to post pic's.

[MBMorgan]

Haven't heard from PJ for a while (love this "blocking" feature) but I see that CaptainMike is organizing some kind of shindig. Not sure what Labor Day weekend has in store but if it's possible, I'm thinking I might just have to fire up the OG ... a.k.a., Evil R2D2 ... for a little barely-detectable smoke:

[Panhead John]

That smoke ain’t from no pellets, you’re probably just burning the crap out of your food.

[Henrik]

Doesn't the manual warn about burning tires in the OG? ;-)

[Panhead John]

Henrik You know that there’s no way you CAN NOT jump into this, right?

[Allon]

Sure.... Get a Bronco they said. It's orange they said.

Then have a pellet\stickburner smackdown

I just can't win...

[Dadof3Illinois]

WayneT it will be the Sous Vide vs InstaPot smackdown next!!

[WayneT]

I’m in! ^

[Panhead John]

I’ll give away a crockpot to the winner!

[Meathead]

LOVE THis!

[WayneT]

Well Panhead John you finally did it. A hostile takeover.

[Panhead John]

I’ll bet Meathead is so proud! 😂

[Sdell]

Count me in for Team Stick burner!

[Panhead John]

Alright! Thanks for jumping in.

[MsTwiggy]

Interesting reading this thread [opens safari] some of these are really cool. . . hey there are a few I could get shipped right away. . . [scrolling]. . . Hmmmm. . . Here's a used one on Craigslist just needs a little TLC. . . Dang it's about 8 hour drive away. . . I NEED TO LEAVE🔥🔥🔥❤️🐿

[ILMsmoke]

The stick burner crowd is at a significant disadvantage to the easy bake ovens. Its hard to mess up "bake at 225 until probe tender"... I'm serious, but just kidding. I'd 100% join the stick burning crowd if mine was finished! I'll join in somehow regardless!

[WayneT]

Awesome sauce! Don't fret about your stick burner, join us pellet heads and enjoy all the downtime for drinking beer and playing cornhole. We can overwhelm the competition on shear numbers alone. If my math is correct, we're up to at least 10 pellet heads already.

[Panhead John]

CaptainMike has both also. Hey Mike, have you decided if you’re gonna cook on one or both?

[Bad Hat BBQ]

Which one are you waitin' on?
The words of Alton Brown are true...your patience will be rewarded....

[Panhead John]

,,,

[Panhead John]

Well CaptainMike I don’t know about you but, that picture right there looks like he was taking it seriously.
😂

[FireMan]

That pic seals it, I’m votin fer the stick burners,

[klflowers]

Tiger is my guy, but John makes me want a stick burner

[jhapka]

I’ve got a click brisket, a pile of maple splits, and an Oklahoma Joe Highland ready to go.

[glitchy]

Crap, now I gotta get A5. This little smack down is gonna be expensive.

[radshop]

It doesn't seem much of a challenge, really.... People who cook with wood vs. People who cook with rabbit poop.

I have some family stuff going on that weekend, so I'll need to figure out what I can do on the LSG working around those obligations.

[Panhead John]

Good deal! Hope you can make it.

[Panhead John]

Hey folks, I spoke with CaptainMike about this, in case anyone wants to join in but can’t make it that weekend. If you need to cook the week before, go ahead! Just post your pics after CaptainMike starts the "Official Smackdown" post. Labor Day Friday morning, Mike will start the post where everyone shows their pics.

Or you can just steal some BBQ pics off the internet and post em as yours, that’s what I do.
