Discussion Thread -> SPECIAL** "Noobians vs. Vets: Season 3!"** Throwdown (Entries and Quality ON TOPIC *CLEAN* Discussion Only)

Well I believe I'm a noob, (hanging on the borderline and not sure which way the officials will let me fall) none the less.

before 8/1, I see entries in...

Whole Chicken
Time for Veggies to Shine
Drum Cooker Throwdown
Jamaican jerk Cook-Off

So you're a noob!
 
Just made the noobs team with 4 TD's.

My entry: Pizza with smoked chicken, peaches, caramelized onions, mozzarella, gorgonzola, toasted pine nuts and balsamic.

Another shot for the Vets:

Another reason to love working from home... I can smoke while I am working... Did up three racks of SLC ribs to take to a going away potluck. Was shooting for 270* for four hours, pit decided it wanted 250* for the first hour and then 280* after that. No biggie. It's BBQ, not Rocket Surgery...

Wasn't going to foil them, but they got darker than I prefer.

Still got some smoke ring. Juicy, tender, little pull off the bone. Only critique was the rub not set as well as it usually is.

Check out my butt

So I haven't posted an entry in a while, you farkers aren't gonna get off that easy. I figured I'd sneak this one in before the deadline and maybe one more.

Here is an ambush by the ninjas:

It's time for pulled pork, I injected this with Cabela's pp rub (it reminds me a little of veggie soup mix) and rubbed with a combination of bone sucking rub and Cabela's all purpose and some black pepper.

Here she is next to my chuck burnt ends



I ran the okie joe longhorn around 250 with cherry wood donated to me by diesel dave, what a guy. I threw her on just about 1:00.

After the rest, we'll use this one as the official polling pic



Time to pull, bear claws they're not just for tree climbing ya know



Ah a late night samich, cook took 12 hours including the rest. The mustard sauce was the boss

Woo Hoo! Looks like I can play here too!



**** This is an official entry ****

**** Since the statute of limitations does not appear to run out, I am a Veteran Farkonaut -- Ahoy Mateys! ****


This is my spicy coffee that I have every morning. It is actually my second cup:

I begin with some coffee syrup, made from cold-brewed coffee. We don't have our roaster and there's no room for it anyway, so we made this with store-bought. Actually, this is Gevalia, so it's not too bad.



Since this is syrup concentrate, I top it with water....



Then I add the spicy ingredient. In Spain, just about everything is considered to be spicy. I think they would die if they had a Hatch chile. I noticed that the special rules suggested any kind of spice could be used. I chose Cola Cao, which is my personal favorite. It is far superior to Nestle's, for example.



I then slip it into my trusty Optigrill -- this is how I know that it is grilled :thumb:



Usually about 50 seconds is all it needs -- this is a hot-and-fast cook. :thumb:



and then I feast:



Mods, please use this last photo.

Now, where's me parrot?
 
Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome back Gore!

Gore, thanks for playing.

I'm in it to win it, guys. Let's go kick some butt! Uhh, which thread is this? I'm so confused. I hope this isn't the grumpy cat one. That one scares me. :tsk:
