Doesn't anyone around here learn. I can't believe we started another discussion about the rules. Some people think this stuff is critical surgery and any interference above what they deem acceptable is COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY OUT OF BOUNDS YOU FREAKIN"CHEATERS YOU! Then there are the reasonable people who know that ALL the KCBS rules were written in a friendly manner to offer a direction. Most understand that a rule specifically stating things like COOK and ASSISTANT would generally revolve around that very job title and duty....not box bitch or trimming. No it would revolve around COOKING because thats what COOKS do they COOK and if the COOK in their own site and another site they are in violations. If they are FRIENDLY asnd they give each other a helping hand they aren't cheaters they are the MAJORITY of BBQ COOKS on the circuit who actually have FRIENDS out here who they swap stories and secrets with. What a concept.
KCBS rules discussion is like bringing up religion. You will always get both sides and the side who is completely out of their mind never listens. So why bother.
Oh and just to add fuel to the fire. KCBS never defines what it means to cook so this rule, like the old pork rule, can not be defined until the action of cooking is defined.
