Yeah, I'll vote in the open. This is in fun, consider it "the short tour," or "Cliffnotes."
I apologize in advance for anyone I slight, or accidentally skip.
And my vote is for Einrej. Less explanation below.
Scott Zee, the lead-off hitter definitely scored tops in the documenting category. We now now the brand, make model, where, when, price, discount, another discount, and then some other amazing price drop. And that he purchased guacamole for Thanksgiving, which gives great CA cred. And that he shaves. We don't know what he shaves. And puts up way better pics that I do. And we know the dietary fiber content of his brine. That's always cool.
MikeRocksTheRed false starts. Runners back to your blocks.
MikeRocksTheRed cooks a really nice breast. It looks better than my entire turkey.
Jdlones cooks a nice turkey.
Firedude5015 cooks a breast on the roti that looked pretty good.
Lightningboltz had crispy looking skin on the roti shot, but a blurry plattered shot. Probably because of the difference in height between Weber and ceramic grilling things. Probably still better than mine.
Brawndo had a short and sweet entry with a great looking shot from the top, including the plastic pop-up thing! Looked good! (the turkey, not the pop-up thing.)
Harleysmoker impressed with an beautifully seasoned bird that included the only popped-up pop-up thing. Still looked perfectly cooked.
Saugust displayed the exploding stuffed deboned bird. This might be the best meal, it's hard to go wrong with sausage.
iCarry cooked an immaculate spatchcocked turkey.
Brewtownbeatdown showed us how to do a really nice spatchcocked bird. And that a coffee can can be used as a roti motor rainshield. Good to know. And he apparently made his own butter. He did not disclose churn time on that.
Stu Clary went with nice looking brined breasts.
Jon overcooked a turkey by 10 degrees and felt shame. But has Beer Dog.
Einrej cooked turkeys on some beat up old kettles. These would be my top picks. The turkeys. Maybe the kettles, too. But the bananas on the table really puzzle me. Banana Thanksgiving?
Jcnaz cooked a velociraptor, and is eliminated from the competition as not having cooked a turkey. Ummmm, velociraptor!
Jfbincypress did the sensible thing, and created a uniform roll of turkey meat that would cook evenly and probably was the best white meat of the day, just on technical stuff that I'm not qualified to judge.
SixZerofour made an elaborate brine, apparently in the dark of night. Then roti'd his bird to a crispy charred goodness that looked impressive. And he has Weber S&P shakers. Bonus. And he cooked his Yorkies, I don't know what those are. I know the dog breed, but I don't think that is what he meant.
Bob BQ encaged a pumped-up breast and roti'd it to some good looking food. On a really nice kettle.
SmokenJoe WSM'd a really good looking bird that would be my number one. Except Einrej made two.
