Nope, but after this weekend, seriously considering it.

I was presented an entry that was shredded once. It had been WAY overcooked but the turn in had a very nice sauce that probably helped them out. I would like to see someone turn in a great chopped or pulled entry and give the sliced guys a run for their money. I do suspect that most judges would make it down just on looks. Similar to chicken entries that are not thighs.

Pulled/shredded but not by choice Flavor scores were good, but everthing else was a beating...as it should have been. It wasn't our first choice!

I had to turned in chopped briskit once. It was excellent, but slices would not hold together. It was just as tasty as the same briskit that we had scored well in, but did not score well with this.

I've done it twice a and placed second in brisket both times. However, I put slices in the box, too. I wanted them to see that it was a choice NOT because the brisket was overcooked, but because I could get two tastes out of the same piece of meat.

Otherwise, I think the judges interpret it as, "This brisket was overcooked and the cook couldn't get good slices." The opposite is true of supper thin slices, "This brisket was undercooked and that's why my slice is as thin as a piece of paper."

I turn in slices of brisket along with chopped ends.

I got an entry as a judge of pulled chicken. It was horrid.... It had gotten cold, and they hadn't taken the trouble to take all the fat out of the meat. I think I gave it a 4 in appearance, 4 in texture and a 2 in taste. It was truly awful.

I was always told that slices should be the width of a number 2 pencil. Anyone else heard of this?

That is what I've been told too. At the judging table I don't see it as a rule though. I have seen all sorts of slices, even aling the grain. (Like chewin on a football )

What if they turned in chopped chicken but its boneless? I have seen guys do that and do real well, just trying to avoid the judges figuring out that it wasnt boneless, skinless to begin with.

I've not heard of a #2 pencil, but 1/4" is what we've been told and follow.

This weekend I had the pleasure of participating in Dr. BBQ's competition class. During the class he said one thing that really stuck in my mind: "Perception is reality". You are totally justified in submitting chopped brisket but because most submit slices the judges in their own mind may wonder why you chose to submit chopped brisket. They may think you submitted chopped because something went wrong with your cook. Remember the judges are human beings and thier perception of what you turned in becomes your reality in how they score you.
