Steve,

Where did the 4 lbs come from? I hadn't seen that weight requirement thrown about before.

I'll let Jeff field this one. That recommendation came from his committee.

Just so you know I voted against this rule because I didn't see the point of having any weight requirement. We passed a rule earlier in the year without it but this was a compromise amongst board members.

In the end people are going to do what people are going to do. The rule is in place for 2014. Maybe it will be a disaster or maybe it will be the best thing since sliced bread. Time will tell.
I'm sorry Steve but it does not limit the type or amount of trimming allowed, it only states that once trimmed, the "trimmed" pork butt must be cooked whole and cannot be separated. That is not a liberal interpretation, it is cold hard fact! Read the rule as written, not as it was intended or debated or what your personal interpretation was but, what it really says or does not say.

Steve,
I agree, to trim down to just a mm would be cheating. As I read the rule I interpret it that once your pork is finished cooking you can separate and put it back on to set glaze etc. I know this will be interpreted differently by those who want to separate mm at an earlier time and I can understand their point as the rule is not exactly clear. (What determines cooked?) at least maybe we will lower the demand for pork butt as several teams will not need more than a couple butts now for each comp.

Lopping the money muscle off a pork butt is not trimming. Stating that it's a cold hard fact and putting an exclamation point at the end doesn't change reality. If you go to get your hair trimmed and they cut it all off or give you a Mohawk I'm pretty sure you'd have a strong case in court against the barber.

That would depend on what trim means to me and the barber. Just saying that it is so open to interpretation that it will happen and I don't really see anything that can be done about it as it is allowed by rule.

Since nobody is policing any of this stuff anyway it's probably happening now. I guess that's an argument for another day.

I find this whole discussion laughable. Tell cooks what they can turn in, for any meat, or award points for creativity. I'd like to see KCBS encouraging cooks to be more creative versus adhering to the standards (perceived or real) of what judges expect. It's becoming way too homogenous in my opinion.

Well it is a bbq competition not the Bocuse d'Or. I've seen some of those burger competitions on tv. If I were a judge I'd probably spit half of them across the room.

I don't think I suggested that it should be fancy pants. And I don't know what burger competitions have to do with it. Just my thoughts that BBQ could be more than the same old same old.

Well I guess by point was a burger should be a burger and bbq should be bbq. Nobody is stopping you from turning is Wasabi Glazed ribs, they might taste great but they're certainly not bbq and in reality they shouldn't score well in a bbq competition. Of course that's just my opinion.

But chicken braised in butter is "BBQ." I don't mean to hijack and I respect you for commenting on this forum. I would just like to see some more creativity.

Well you got me there. I don't really care for butter braised chicken (not to say I don't turn it in). The judges really seem to like it though ???

I'm sure back in the day nobody heard of braising chicken in butter. Somebody's 'creativity' led to today's craze.
