MemberGot rid of the matchlight.
I saw Tuffy Stone on Barbecue Pitmasters, say that one of the first things he looks for when judging, is a good smoke ring. It's my understanding that because a smoke ring can be artificially induced, consideration of the smoke ring is not allowed in KCBS judging.
I'm wondering if any of you see the popularity of Pitmasters and all the noise that comes out of the judges, as having any impact on the way your turns-ins are judged.
Is it allowed in other judging formats? Or is it just that even though smoke ring consideration is "not allowed" it gets a nod and a wink (and some consideration) anyway, in a below the radar kind of way?
Look forward to hearing y'all's thoughts.
