"Chef's Choice" Question

[Bubba Gup]

I have a comp coming up and there's a Chef's Choice entry Friday night. The contest organizer just posted that onyl KCBS-approved fuel sources can be used. Is this a common restriction in Chef's Choice? Seems to take a lot of "choice" away from the chef...

[mclancey]

yes, it's pretty common. for the competitions around here, you'll find more comps with this rule, than with an "all forms of cooking permitted" rule

My personal experience differs, and I would very much say that is not common, but I personally love the idea.

We saw a team with great entries bomb, afaict because the judges assumed they cooked in an rv kitchen. With that rule they would probably have done better..

I beg to differ.

I differ as well. I do cheesecakes with 100% wood.

What does only KCBS approved fuel sources mean?. It is perfectly legal to use a propane stove to heat sauces. So I don't see the statement as much of a restriction. keith

Wanna bet? One of the best I've had was cooked in a Dutch oven on a smoker...
