heating sauces question

[rxcellentq]

I was watching BBQ pitmasters rerun tonight. Is it leagle to heat your sauce on a gas or electric burner? Is that an exception to the wood, charcoal rule? These are KCBS rules I asume, they where at the Royal.

Yes it is legal.

what i saw that i didn't like is all those naked paws clawing through the meat.

it's a PIA, but i make damn sure my gloves are on when i'm touching food someone else is gonna eat.

Yes, it's legal as long as the contest meat is not in the pan. If the meat's in the sauce pan with gas / electric heat source then it's a DQ.
