I didn't see this thread tell tonight so I don't know if I will make the dead line, but I may try it sometime. What are some of the stuffing being used. That's the only thing I am wondering about.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Congrats to all that entered. Way to step out of your comfort zone and give something new a try. I'm hoping that people take this Throwdown idea seriously. It would be nice to do this on a semi regular basis. Even once a month would be great. That way there could be a little more notice. I would have loved to do this but I just made one last week. I like to rotate cooks so we're not always eating the same thing week after week. I would even be in favor of a $1 entry fee that would go towards buying the prize for the winner and the person that got the least amount of votes. This way no one has to shell out continuously. Again nice job everyone that entered.XL BGE, LG BGE, and a hunger to grill everything in sight!!!Joe- Strongsville, OH

thank you! When the voting is done I'll post a picture of the assembly, before it got rolled up - it's probably the best shot@galantenate_oneea yeah that dinner looked unreal. killer scallops. @dyal_sc you lost style points with all that stuffing falling all over the place. but that stuffing is so killer I'd want as much as I could stuff in my gullet!

OK. I voted.
Now I want to comment just to thank everybody responsible for this. Not only are the cooks great, but it was fortuitously timely for me. My daughter (20 y/o - last weekend home from college) asked me if I would help her with an indoor cook that involved deboning three chickens. It was great that I was able to say "I know where we can learn this from a video." I did the first one while she worked the laptop and then we each did the other two simultaneously. It was good father-daughter time and now I'm ready to try a Ballotine chicken some time in the future. So, while I don't have an entry for the showdown, like many of the participants I got pushed outside my comfort zone and am better for it.
With that being said, I have a question. Generally, for chicken, we target 160 for white meat and 180 for dark meat. With the Ballotine, where do you measure the temp - and what is the target?

OK, not all food poisoning results in those extremes, but ask the guy on this forum who hurried his omelet one time, and you may decide to be like me.

@Foghorn all my stuffing I cooked stove top as I didn't want uncooked sausage greasing up my chicken. I just got the stuffing to 140 and the white meat to 165.

@Zmokin and @theyolksonyou, Thank you.
Both approaches seem reasonable. I appreciate the responses.

OK, found my vote...And here's where this would fall apart. If there are more than 10 "Likes", when you hover over a "Like" to see who voted for it, only the most recent 10 are displayed. So...if there are more than 10 votes on an entry, and you voted early (prior to the most recent 10), you can vote again and no-one will know you double-voted.Loophole detected!They/Them

True dat. I've learned a number of vocabulary words on here as well. I try not to repeat most of them in good company.

On the bright side not a lot of double digit vote getters so not a lot of fraud to detect. I'm doing my part by abstaining from getting votes. getting skunked by a damn fork on a plate. )

Man. It is taking forever to get my extra accounts approved. I hope they make it before the deadline so I can vote more! Clearly I did not plan far enough ahead.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

How about a play by play on counts? That should boost the ratings

I'm not sure to be happy or sad I am a few votes ahead of the empty plate?They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
