Winners of the Super Bowl Throwdown...

[gmc2003]

First, I'd like to thank all those who participated, voted, and donated such wonderful prizes. We had a great turnout both in entries submitted and in voting. I'm pretty sure we hit record numbers in both!!!

Now onto the winners:

First up is the forum poll voting. The poll voting was a neck in neck battle until the very end. We actually had to call in an impartial forum member who hadn't voted in the poll to make the final decision.

So, let's congratulate @xray for his Chicago inspired Italian beef pull-apart ring!!!
xrays prize will be 2 racks of Certified Piedmontese Beef ribs and an assortment of rubs. Donated by our very own @tx smoker

Next the runner-up in the forum poll voting:

Give a big round of applause to @jcam222 for his entry of Smoked cheddar stuffed KC BBQ meatballs!!! Jcam's prize is also donated by one of our wonderful forum members @Steve H, and he will be receiving an Amazen gift pack consisting of a 12in smoking tube, 2-2lb bags of pellets and a bottle of gel starter.

Last but not least. The winner of the committee vote. This had to be the toughest decision we as judges have had to make in a long time. So many excellent entries to consider. A true testament to the talent of our forum's members.

Without further ado...the winner of the committee voting is @civilsmoker for his entry of Moose 3-ways. Congratulations Civil for an excellent entry. Civil's prize is his choice of a gift box from ManCrates valued up to $80.00.

Again, thanks to all who participated in this throwdown, and thanks to the SMF staff for allowing us to take on this endeavor. It was huge success. Finally, a special thanks to @TulsaJeff for it wouldn't be possible to have this event without SMF.

Thank you.
The SMF Throw Down Committee.

Wow congratulations to all the winners and very well deserved.
I missed this one as I was away and kind of glad :) . The entries were great and
a great showing from lots of members

I did get a chance to sign on yesterday , just in time to vote and I will say the I did vote for @xray for his Chicago inspired Italian beef pull-apart ring
and it was a hard choice for the top 2 as I was tossed between Joes and Jeffs

Good job by the staff for pulling this off and for @TulsaJeff for having the site to do this

Any one of them could have taken it. Nice job all around. I look forward to the individual posts giving us some insight on how they made them.

Definitely excellent entries and for all the extended efforts creating these dishes. Sure wish we could've have tasted each one of them. BIG Congrats to @xray, @jcam222 and @civilsmoker. Special thanks to @tx smoker, @Steve H. Your donations are just a great example of what makes this place so special.

Thanks a bunch for all your work staff members and @TulsaJeff for the website we all enjoy.

Wow!! What an amazing turnout across the board. Honestly, I had to go through the entries a dozen times or more before making my decision which to vote for. Some incredible stuff showcased making for a very difficult decision. One thing is for sure, there are no losing entries here. Just a couple that may have been thought a bit better than others. Congrats to all!!

A special thanks to the Throwdown Committee for putting together what I believe to be the best one yet. Some fantastic work on the part of @TNJAKE , @gmc2003 , and @DougE putting it all together, promoting, and organizing it. I have no doubt that there was a LOT of time put into this getting the nuts and bolts figured out. From here on, it should be a lot smoother I'd guess. Can't wait to see the next one gentlemen.

[clifish]

edit - responded to the wrong person from another forum. This is what happens when you have a Jeep Wrangler forum and a smoking forum open at the same time while on a work call...lol

Congrats guys! Jeff, @jcam222 I'll be sending your prize out hopefully by the end of the week.

 

[xray]

Thank you all for the kind words! This was my first throwdown and I never expected to win! I was just trying to figure out something tasty for the Super Bowl, and figured what the heck.

I’ll try to get up on the big computer in a few days and get a detailed thread out of my entry.

Thanks again and it was a lot of fun!

 

[mcokevin]

Congrats all! Very impressive.

You better. No thread, no ribs I want to see it so I can do a little midnight acquisition and steal the recipe
