Competition Meat Question

[Teamfour]

When bringing your own meat for a KCBS comp, are you allowed to trim the meat prior to inspection?

[Bourbon Barrel BBQ]

Yes.

[Gowan]

You can trim to your heart's content, as long as you don't season the meat or violate one of the specific rules published by KCBS. i.e. shoulder >= 5lbs, ribs on the bone, etc.

Thanks for asking this question. I was actually wondering about that this weekend as I was trimming briskets and butts in 110 degrees and thinking to myself that there is no way this is more sanitary than trimming at home.
