Any Predictions
 

I noticed that the pork parting rule is on the agenda for tomorrows board meeting. Any predictions of if it will stand or fall? keith

I thought any rule changes had to be submitted last year?

Don't know about that. It is listed as a motion that the rule be stricken effective immediately. keith

there will be no parting of the pork :)

I'd bet the rule stays as-is.

I would bet it stays as is...

I hope it stays as is, but wish they would enforce a bit more......

I really don't give 2 $h!ts if it changes or not, it won't change the way I do my pork.. I just think it's pathetic to treat one category differently than the other 3, especially when it is difficult to enforce.

From KCBS website - Sanctioning & Rules Reports:

Motion on Rule # 10
I move that the definition of PORK be changed as follows:
Pork: Pork is defined as Boston Butt, Picnic and/or Whole Shoulder, being one piece, weighing a minimum of five (5) pounds (bone in or bone out).


Doesn't look to be changing, only clarifying.

O Motion - Randy Bigler; Seconded by Jeff Stith: In regards to KCBS Rule number 10, under pork, motion is made that the sentence "At no time shall the meat once separated be returned to a cooker" be stricken from the rules effective immediately.

To be honest I think that KCBS should consider rule changes every year to make sure that they keep the focus on what they consider to be traditional bbq values.

I dont know that butter baths and parting out pork butts is what they traditional view as BBQ, but I think that they have a responsibility to make sure that the rules reflect their views on BBQ and what the teams are presenting as such.

I think its an odd rule being that you can return any other cut of meat to the smoker besides Pork. Hard rule to enforce so why bother?

If it passes I can turn in Italian sausage! I'm gonna kick ass!

Just as long as you put blues hog on it or it doesn't stand a chance!:razz:

or whatever the heck you sauce with...
