Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
SMF is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
Just to clarify entries, Don't include the gone but not forgotten member's name anywhere in your description, but do include a link to the recipe you are replicating in the entry you send to
TNJAKE
so that he can verify that you have followed their recipe within reason, which will be edited out for the poll.
While we want this to be in honor of those members who have departed this life, we want the entries to be judged on the basis of the entry as submitted, and not based on who originated the recipe. I think that by what has been submitted, we can guess who said recipe belonged too, but that isn't and shouldn't be a criteria in voting.

We may have to do 2 or more polls with runoffs just to get a winner in the forum vote if that's the case, but bring it on, y'all!
My plating sucks but this one close to my heart and will be entering! Don't care if I even get a vote for this one.
You might be surprised by the votes you will get with the right cook. I can think of mainly 2 or maybe 3 members who really shine in their presentation skills, and Robert is out of the running ....... so that leaves the other few ............
Not to worry Brian! The memories will more than make up for anything else... not to mention some great eating!

Thanks! Man now I remember I did that long ago for mine. Dang leaky brain cells
Some of you grossly underrate your skills. I’ve seen plenty of tasty looking plates from you.

Master of the Pit
As you all know, the "powers that be" formed a small committee to organize and run the Throwdowns. The Superbowl TD was truly epic and all handled bygmc2003 and
DougE They did a truly amazing job. Putting these events together takes a massive amount of time and work. Due to life commitments, our friend Jake came to the conclusion that he simply does not have the time available to work with the committee on these and decided to resign. He gave ample notice to find his replacement before this one was ready to go and the offer was extended to me to be his replacement. As you can see, I accepted
Kudos to Jake for all of his work and efforts to make the Superbowl event as great as it turned out to be.
Now to this one. After much discussion it was decided to do an event in honor of the forum members we have lost: Gone But Not Forgotten. The rules for this one will differ considerably from previous events and the requirements dramatically lessened. The theme will be to replicate a thread from a member who has passed away. It can be anything: a full meal, finger food, a pizza, sausage, a pot of soup, anything at all you'd like to make. For this one, you will not be required to use a smoker or grill unless it was used in the original thread you are replicating. You will also not be required to use the exact same piece of equipment. They may have used an MES to smoke something but you can use a stick burner. They may have used a Ninja air fryer but you have a different brand, and that's fine. You must however use the same ingredients, not necessarily the same amounts, but the same ones. This gives freedom to cook to your personal tastes.
All entries must be sent to
Code word for this will be Rememberance (please note the spelling). Tape the piece of paper with that written on it to your camera so you don't forget to make sure it's visible when taking the final pic. As with all previous TD's, you will submit one picture only with the basic description in the title of your PM to Doug.
Here is the link to the Throwdown rules:
Official Smf Throwdown Rules
Official Monthly Throwdown (TD) Rules BEFORE YOU START COOKING TAPE YOUR CODE WORD TO YOUR CAMERA SO THAT YOU DO NOT FORGET! Rules for entry 1. The featured item of the month must be smoked in a prominent manner to be eligible for entry...www.smokingmeatforums.com
Here is a list of some of the members who we have lost. This is primarily for the benefit of newer members (and a reminder for some of us old folks
Scott in KC, salmonclubber, Big Arms Smoking, Richoso1, ColeySmokinBBQ, Walking Dude, desertlites, Capt. Dan, ronp100343, Bassman, mballi3011, eman, Bearcarver, Scarbelly, fpnmf, chef-jimmyj, Smokin' in AZ, Foamheart, POPs6927, Dwdunlap, Gary S,
This is by no means a full list and you are not required to follow one of these people. You can use any recipe from any member as long as it can be confirmed the person was in fact a member in good standing within the forum.
Now to the part you've all been waiting for, and I'm very excite to announce this, THE PRIZES!! As of now there will be two prizes awarded: winner of the forum poll and winner of the judge's voting.
1st place in the forum poll voting will be "Winner's Choice" and you'll get to choose one of these three items which will be shipped directly to you. I just hope the links post correctly.
Winner of the judge's voting will receive a $100 gift card from Porter Road. I will tell you from experience that they are first class and have some amazing offerings.
Hers is a link to Porter Road and once again, I hope it posts correctly.

Additional prizes may be offered if they come available so be on the lookout for possible updates.
All entries must be sent in to Doug no later than midnight Monday March 27th. That gives three full weekends to work with and lots of weekdays. Voting will begin on March 28th and run through April 3rd. Winner of the forum poll voting will be pretty obvious but it may take a day or so for the judges to get their votes compiled.
Well ladies and gentlemen, there has been a massive amount of time and work go into this. The whole concept was to honor the memory of members we have lost as well as giving you all a ton of options to work with. Now....LETS SEE SOME AMAZING ENTRIES!!
Thanks to all and we are REALLY looking forward to a huge turnout for this one.
Robert
Great job I love this throwdown
Pick a recipe from a gone and departed member and go with it. Doing more than one to put together a meal sounds like an interesting concept we maybe need to look at for the future (I actually like the concept), but one recipe per entry per person in this one.
Love the theme of this throw down.
Great idea

I wish we knew the actual list of dearly departed versus simply departed members.
Dearly or not, if they are departed (as in gone to the afterlife) and posted an epic recipe, go with it!
