Just to be clear on this rule...
we can do all trimming of meat ahead of time at home away from the comp site? right? I ask this same damn thing and question myself on it every year...but my worst nightmare is showing up with a trimmed brisket, chicken, ribs, and butt and the meat inspector DQ'ing me for trimming ahead of time ... thanks for putting my mind at ease

For KCBS you can. Not sure if you can for MBN. FBA allows it, but you are suggested or required to bring receipts or lables showing that it is USDA inspected meat. You cannot season or treat the meant until after meat inspection.

Remember when the meat inspector comes around majority of the time it is the organizer or one of their volunteers doing the inspection so don't get too worked up if they say something stupid or are ignorant, just ask them to get the KCBS rep.

Trimmed, yes - seasoned (marinade, injection, rub, etc), no. At least for KCBS comps.

In our experience, we have shown all 4 non-seasoned (and home-trimmed) meats to the inspector. It's always been met with a "yup, yup, yup, yup...you're good to go".
Inspectors aren't out there to hurt competiton teams. It's just one of those protocol things.

For KCBS a good way to remember it is:
You can always take away from the meat before it's inspected. You just can't add to it.

I don't know who you talked to but that is NOT correct. We've trimmed ahead of time for the last twi years with never a question asked. Ask any contest rep.

KCBS does not mandate any particular size fire extinguisher. They only say that you need to have one near your pit. Some organizers or fire marshalls might stipulate what you must have but KCBS does not.
