WayneT and I have been having a few discussions about what we can do for our next group cook/Smackdown or whatever. The ones we’ve done so far have been a lot of fun and very successful! In the last year and a half that we’ve been doing these, we’re beginning to run short of ideas, without repeating ourselves. There is one that SteveB has done the last 2 years, the Mr. Bones Memorial Rib Cook. That should continue as is, for the foreseeable future I’m assuming. While we always like to include as many Pit Members as possible, it doesn’t always work out that way, and that’s fine! For the Pellet Pooper vs Stickburner Smackdown, me and many other members didn’t have one and couldn’t participate….that was fine with me, we all had a blast just being in the background and watching everyone else.
What we’d like some help with, is some ideas for the next one. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them here. Remember, try to come up with something that a lot of people can participate in and would be fun. Full group participation is not a requirement though. If we’re gonna be stuck with something like a Sous Vide Smackdown, or whatever, I’ll pass. 😂 This could be a cooker vs cooker Smackdown or just a group cook of some type. Here’s the ones we’ve done so far, so we can eliminate these for now.
1. PBC vs Bronco Smackdown
2. Mr. Bones Memorial Rib Cook
3. Pellet Pooper vs Stick burner Smackdown
4. Steak Cook Off For Kathryn
5. Chili Cookoff last November
6. 4th of July Hamburger/Hot dogs Cook
7. Memorial Day Brisket Cook
8. January…Show Us Your Soup Cook
This is all that I can remember, have I missed any? Let me know if I left one out. Ok, here’s what I’ve got as an idea. With the huge growth the last few years of members getting griddles, [and woks] I was trying to think of something we could do with these. Anyone who doesn’t have a wok, can get one for as little as $20…..and up. I’m not saying this is the greatest idea, but it’s all I could come up with. Something like….
Stir Fry Smackdown: Wok vs Griddle!…..Everyone could put together their best stir fries on either a wok or a griddle of some type, whether a stand-alone griddle or an insert type. I was thinking about maybe doing something for Labor Day Weekend. Or, should we just hold off on doing anything else for a while? I’m all ears….thanks!
I have volunteered @WayneT to run the next one…..
and he’s graciously accepted the offer.
