That sounds like a lot of fun. There should be some interesting, and delicious, entries.

How's this going to work, pretty much every episode recipe would not qualify since there mostly cooked indoors?

 

[bowhnter]

Same as normal. It’s ‘inspired by’ but at least the main protein is cooked outside.

Those episode recipes are for inspiration and ideas. A large percentage of our Throwdowns feature categories that are traditionally cooked in the kitchen, from all kinds of ethnic cuisine and more. Again, have a closer look at the category description:

DDD has hit a number of BBQ places.

What still kills me about the show is Fieri hates eggs.

So, to clarify, this TD doesn't have to be cooked outdoors?

Stopped at his place in Louisville a few years back. What was on the menu? Laughed my ass off.

Plenty of BBQ featured. Smoke a meatloaf instead of cooking it in the oven. Plenty of recipes cooked on an indoor grill, use your outdoor grill. Plenty of flat tops featured, use an outdoor griddle.

Laugh all you want, but a simple "Outdoor cooking rules still applies" would be all it takes to prevent DQ entries. And its not like i am the only one who has had DQ entries.


How hard is it to add to the OP?


Anyway, im passing on this TD. Good luck guys.

Bob, this is not the first time we've gone over this with you. We are the BBQ Brethren, NOT the Stovetop Brethren.


Second, the Throwdown rules are posted plainly for all to see.



3rd, it is NOT our job to prevent DQ entries, it is up to all those who enter to submit either compliant or non-compliant entries. No respectable contest would change the rules mid-stream to accommodate the whims of someone who doesn't agree with the rules.


That said, this entry and discussion thread is not the place for continuing this conversation. If you and anyone else wish to respectfully discuss ideas about allowing different kinds of entries etc, you are more than welcome to do so in the Throwdown lounge:

That is all!

Where did i not agree with the rules? I simply, and so did others not fully understand the rules as they are not laid out in the TD threads. All i was saying was it would not be hard to mention the main rules in the TD first post so members don't have to hunt down the rules. Not to mention some TD's change the rules and allow multiple entries. Listen, im not trying to split hairs here. I was genuinely not sure if this TD allowed things to be cooked in a "Diner"


By the way, i tried to "discuss ideas about allowing different kinds of entries etc" in the link you provided but was told i couldnt because it was over 289 days old.

 

[Get’n Smokey]

Wide open 3D-TD.. me likey!!

 

[KC Smoke]

This is too good and too wide open for no entries yet. I simply can't let this injustice persist. Prep is in the works. Photos to come later.

 

[bowhnter]

I guess the category is a bust. I don’t even have anything planned since we just got home.

 

[SMOKE FREAK]

I got nothin...

 

[Maylar]

Me either...

 

[BackYardRob]

Me 4. Hope everyone is just busy with the holiday at hand, cause I think it's a great TD idea. Please repeat soon!
