Hi all,

I am going to be in a Q contest in May. This is a Non sanctioned
contest, so the rules are a bit different.
They a

Equipment will be a supplied Weber Smokey Joe grill (14 inch)
Meat must be raw, but can be marinated or rubbed prior to cooking.
Cook time is 2 hours.
Hot coals supplied. Contestant can add smoking woods.
Cook enough for all Judges (6).

I am looking for ideas/suggestions on what I can cook within this
limited time to knock the Judges out of their chairs.

It seems previous winners have done a tenderloin of some sort. If I go
this route, I would need some marinate or rub recipe to win this event.

All Ideas/suggestions/advice are welcome.

Thanks

Happy Q'en,
BBQ

Feed 6 in two hours, on a 14" grill. That's going to be tough. Good thing you
have (almost) 2 months to get ready.

How about a tenderloin, fileted to make a large flat and thin piece of meat,
stuffed with something fancy rolled up jelly-roll style, then grilled for your 2
hours (or less?)?

Two hours cook time isn't enough to qualify as "Q," but nevertheless, how
'bout a mojo criollo soaked chicken? Get a big bird, it'll feed six.

Jack Curry

2 hours cooking suggests grilling/roasting rather than BBQ. You might think
in terms of:

- boneless leg of lamb
- tri-tip
- beef rib roast (prime rib)
- chicken/turkey (whole, spatchcocked, or pieces)

Flank steak or else spatchcocked bird is forgiving enough to try on a
strange cooker, and in the time you have available.

How about stuffed pork tenderloins? Stuff with prosciutto, provolone,
season with garlic and rosemary.

Or stuffed chicken breast.

What part of the country is the contest being held? Might make sense to
prepare something that the "locals" are more familiar with.

I might go down the duck breast route. Smokes up easy in the 2 hr time
schedule and I would apply an orange/pepper/garlic marinade rub/brine.

That's an excellent idea. I might add that you could smoke it with
tea, i.e. Tea Smoked Duck Breast. That might make it stand out
a bit more from the competition.

OK,can't actually be "Q" if you can only cook for 2 hours

You've got other ideas from the group, but for variation, you could try "Super
Burger Dogs" for something new and different.

Substitute fresh (home made?) sausage for the hot dogs.

With all these ideas, if you don't win, it won't be because of originality,
unless the judges don't like originality.

BOB

"Feed 6 in two hours, on a 14" grill. That's going to be tough. Good

You only need six samples, not six meals. Although it is a non
sanctioned event, the basic judging procedure probably doesn't differ
too much.

Ain't that the truth? If I had to eat an entire serving from each contestant
I'd blow up long before the judging was done.

JD

Several votes here for stuffed loin or tenderloin. Either could
be a winner. Fresh baby spinach, prosciutto, provolone
stuffing. Find a nice pork rub that you can get a good crust
with. Cook 300° to 350° and use some fairly serious smoke.
You can overcook those guys in just two hours, so watch
out.
