Sumosmoke came up with the idea in the thread where Pineywoods introduced us to his new Lang, (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...t=21797&page=3) so I contacted her to request her service as Supreme Knightess of the Inaugural SMF Lang Throwdown.
Laurel humbly accepted the position of honor and suggested I take this issue to task. With a snappy salute, I have accepted the task.
Initial positive comments posted by Capt Dan and Smokâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]n Steve looks like we can have a Lang Throwdown in the very near future. I invite all Lang owners, any size or model, to participate.
What Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m looking for in this post are potential participants, preferred weekend (30/31 AUG [Labor Day], 6/7 SEP, 13/14 SEP, 20/21 SEP, 27/28 SEP), and possible ideas.
What Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m looking at is a fairly big smoke, with each participant preparing a brisket, a pork butt, a rack or two of ribs (spares or BBs) and a whole chicken. Intent for the multi meat smoke is to kind of give the atmosphere of a BBQ competition, while snapping the great lookinâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] qview of all the Langs loaded up with meat. Participants can create their own thread showing the prep, progress, and final pics, but the throwdown entry will show only one qview of the Lang loaded down, then one qview each of the categories plated up, and a link to your progress thread. Not a lot of commentary in the entry thread is needed – that can come out in your prep thread. SMF Members will be invited to vote with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each meat category. Points will be added up (3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd) and a “winner†for each category will be announced. A grand total will determine the Throwdown Champion.
Just concept at this point. I am very open to suggestions, so if you have any ideas, post em here, PM me, or email me.
