I voted fried. I didn't see any sauce so it can't be BBQ.

if you do this at a competition, cover your butt..
YOU MUST LET THE REP KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING. !!!!
He will need to cover your arse when/if the table captain or judges try to DQ you.. the rep can then clarify things..
one of our teams used a similar technique and was unjustifiably DQ'ed.
Read this one carefully.. and then send a PM to Sawdustguy for more details.

At this link we read "We were disqualified (given 1's in appearance) by the judges because it was deemed that these results must have been achieved by means other than BBQ."
This is a presumption.
At the judging class I attended, it was reinforced time and again that the cook has complete control over what they turn in. It matters not if the meat was cooked in 30 seconds or whatever. There ARE conditions to judge on appearance, but cooking method is NOT one of them. HOW a meat is cooked cannot be determined by the judges. Therefore, it's a moot point to ask how it was cooked. If it looks unusual, it most likely won't score high.
(How do you think the MoKanMeatHeads 'Turbo Brisket' ever came into being? THAT's not BBQ . . .)
But because of the rules laid down by the KCBS we know that we can judge North Carolina BBQ against Phoenix BBQ against what ever . . . and we will judge it fairly.
At NO point were we EVER coached to judge whether or not the cooking method used was 'Low n Slow BBQ' or anything else at all. We were coached to search for what is RIGHT with the samples.
I hope this helps.

Forgive me if I am reading your post wrong. But it seems you are saying a cook can cook meat anyway they want after it has been inspected and the judges can not decide how it was cooked or score down or DQ it.
If a judge suspects it has been fried, parboiled, cooked in a gas oven or gas grill, he can have the table captain get the Rep for a call. The Rep should then go to the team and try to find out how it was cooked.
So if one was to do something unusual but still being within the rules, it would be wise to contact the Rep and let him know what you are doing, just to be on the safe side.
Again hope I didn't miss understand your post. And Jim those are some good looken eats.

I think your higher heat method will work great with my Rocky Mountain oyster recipe.
I'll post pics
Sorry bud, but rules 5 and 6 state:Well, according to the KCBS rules, once the meat is checked in and verified that it has been saved in a safe manner . . . the cook can do anything they want to the meat.
Short answer is: a person would NOT need to check with the reps first.
Now, if the competition is being judged against another set of rules, the answer could be different.

Sorry - I'll decline to comment on that out of respect for Wayne and the gang, but I will say that it scored really well.Info. please...:twisted:

Hey, it's not problem at all. You're not picking . . . there's a good exchange of ideas and concepts here that just might help someone.Nothing in the grounds for disqualification portion says anything about the cooking method as being grounds for DQ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am not trying to pick on you but feel I must say something here. Not only is cooking method grounds for a DQ but if its cooked by any other means then stated in the rules as acceptable, then it could mean cheating and being told to pack up and go home. I believe it caries a 2 year suspension for the entire team from cooking any KCBS cookoff.
Of course thats extreme and cheating would have to be proven.
