I believe they will. They are going to get everything from pulled to sausage. Are the creative cooks that turn in sausage going to be hurt? This is a major rule change and for any cook to lose out because of what they turn in, because CBj's aren't aware of this new rule changes. Not all CBJ's are online and will not be aware of any rule changes

I almost only compete in South Carolina BBQ Sanctioned events, and as far as I'm aware, they don't have any rules against parting the pork, weight limits, reheating and all of that, like the KCBS does. Every single contest I've cooked (and won awards at) we've always cooked whole butts, always turned in pulled, sliced, and chunked pork. And I'm willing to bet every other team that cooks SCBA does the same thing, or at least very similar.

My point being, is that just because the parting rule might go away in the KCBS, it doesn't necessarily mean that grilled or ground or whatever pork is going to start winning any contests.

If I cooked pork as well as you, I'd hope the same. Good luck with the new shoes.

But as a judge you have to judge what they presented to be bbq, not what your pre concieved notions of bbq are, if that is presented and falls within the rules and you score it down because it's not what you think bbq is then you are being a poor judge.

And here I thought my rotisserie pork butt chucks were only good for gyros...
I just need KCBS to allow a pita and tzatziki sauce and the judges can enjoy my kids favorite meal! (jk)

I am sure it was all very good, but I dont think that sliced horn meat is going to be what changes pork boxes in GA.

I won 1st in Lexington,NC with slices and what I cook for every other contest I cook. Scored well in other Southern states as well. If they judge by what was presented and the meat is good, you should score accordingly. But is is shy i truly believe that KCBS should do a continuing education for all CBJ's. Especially for pork.

On this I agree with you Scottie. I have only judged a handful of contests but i can honestly say i have only had pulled only boxes maybe two or three times. The norm is sliced MM sometimes with pulled and chunked, sometimes just MM and pulled. But there is almost always sliced in the boxes.

Yet by reading some of the comments on here and also on what is or is not real BBQ or not makes me concerned that will all judges judge what is presented in all KCBS contests, in all areas? If not then there should be some sort of continuing education. This rule is evolving however I am not convinced that everyone take on the rule is evolving.

Freddy, I agree with you and with Scottie (oh, he must really be rolling right now), but to date I haven't seen a judge count off because what presented didnt fall into his/her definition of BBQ (but this certainly opens the door wide for a very BROAD definition).

I was, however, more concerned that by changing this rule they've opened it up so wide that truly something that isn't by anyones definition remotely associated with BBQ comes across the table and must be judged as BBQ; heaven forbid it scores well, because it was a) appetizing to look at, and b) very tender and moist, and c) tasted great.

For example, a while back I used to charge judges for sanctioned chili cookoffs, and in the charge I had to help them define what is and isn't chili, and in it I gave multiple references to the difference between chili and say spaghetti sauce (as an example); just because you call spaghetti sauce chili doesn't make it chili. Same for BBQ.

As I've said before, and will again, That is why I don't Judge!!!!

I've always submitted what my idea of what BBQ should be, and haven't done too shabby with that approach.

I completely agree with you. I do love the history. I also know that if something can be done different and better. Then you better do it. I am the first to say I am a sell out. I'll send you my results on butt tear down!!

Exactly.

Chicken salad was ruled legal a while back too.

How many times has anyone seen chicken salad on a judging table since then?
