    BBQ Competition

    I'll second that. I bought my little WSM just for contest chicken. I was f'ing everything else up by opening the door to monkey with chicken.

    BBQ Competition

    It is allowed for KCBS. Not all of the contests on the show were KCBS contest. Anyhow, if you decide to trim before hand, just bring the labels off the package the meat came in. I had the inspector ask to see them before.

    BBQ Competition

    You can trim your meat prior to the competition, but you can't rub, inject, season, etc prior to the inspection. I do all my trimming at home prior so I don't have to mess with it when I am out there (aka drink sooner). Good luck

    Rub question...

    I use cinnamon in my rub as well.......definitely not enough to call it cinnamon based. Good luck with your venture.

    The Invention of the Fatty

    Anyone beat 4/20/04 as the first time the name was used? That is the oldest I can find......I would put a link to it, but it is on a different BBQ forum on this one and don't want to break any rules by posting it. PM me if interested in reading it.......

    Giving it away

    Smoking sausage like this has been around a long long time, but the last time this topic came up I did some digging and found a post on 4/20/04.....in a different forum where the name fatty was clearly suggested. Have yet to see anything older than this for the use of fatty to describe this...

    Am I crazy? Where's the membrane?

    I have not been a costco member very long, but I have bought a few racks of BBs in that time and all had the membrane removed.

    For the Competitors...why do you do it?

    I try not to worry about how many CBJs are out there at an event. Sure I would prefer 100% CBJ with years of experience, but assuming everything is done as it should be, everyone has the same shot of landing on a good/bad table. Myron, Trigg, whoever can get on a crap table and give us a leg...

    For the Competitors...why do you do it?

    I have always been a competitive person and this is another outlet for that. I like the challenge of trying to figure out what the judges are looking for and trying to execute the game plan. I was doing well in Florida then moved North and found that my flavor profile that worked down there...

    Using a Rib Rack - Any adjustments needed?

    competition briskett

    Like with most things in this BBQ world, you can ask 10 people and find 10 ways to do it. You need to find what works best for you. I can say with a high degree of confidence that you don't want fat going into the turn in box whether you trim it off pre or post cook. There may be judges out...
