The scoring cycle

I started competing right at the end of the last high scoring period for judges. Folks would complain about how rediculous it was when you had 2 or 3 180s in a category and first, second, and third were decided by a coin toss. The result of that seemed to be the "6" rule being implemented which really scrwed things up for a few years.

I wonder with the way the scores are going this season how long it will be before a new "adjustment" goes into play and what that possibly could be.

I'd have to dig out the paperwork to verify but I think every contest I competed at this year had a 180, granted a lot were in dessert, but a few were in meat which I had never seen before. Now I see where there was a post about several 180s at a contest. I know at least 6 of my overall scores this year would have been Grands last year.

All this being said, the cream always rises to the top and the best teams exhibiting the most care and heart in their food are at the front of the pack.

Anyone else starting to feel this?

As far as I know there isn't one, but I think there should be. From what we do and where we go, with whom we do it with, I can't think of a better theme song than this:
Happy Trails, by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
And it not only

you know a project is getting close to completion when the landscaping goes in. this is going to be one cool place. if you are driving across the topside of des moines on i-80, look north. the place is huge, but i'll save the details until they open up. this beautiful weather is sure a welcome relief for landscapers and bbq restaurants. we're both getting our work done :).

Dropping Meat on the Ground
Latest
Friday, 20 August 2010 07:42
Posted by Dirty Brisket Guy on August 19, 2010 at 12:12:48:

At two contests this year, we have observed another team fumble a brisket right onto the ground.

Earlier this summer, a team across from us fumbled an uncooked brisket right into the grass/dirt as they were loading it into their smoker. They picked it up, wiped it off (no water, just a towel) and then proceeded to place it in the cooker.

Last weekend, we observed a different team pull a partially cooked brisky out of their cooker at 6:00 AM or so to add some seasoning or what not, and plopped it right onto the asphalt. These guys did the same thing, rubbed it off a little and plopped it right back into the cooker.

What's the forum's view of the proper meat handling procedure that should have occurred in these cases?

What is the proper etiquette to follow for a team that observes this happening?

Neither of these teams received a call, by the way.

This post is intentionally anonymous as it is intended to call out these teams, but merely to solicit opinions.

I have an old Bradford pear at my house that is splitting and needs to come down. Has anyone ever smoked with this type of wood or should i just avoid it?

This joint venture between KCBS and Sams could really be a great deal. I would like to say Thank You to Kelly, Carolyn and rest of the KCBS office staff on a job well done. Sams Club personal treated all of us cooks as royality we didnt want for nothing the goodie bag or I should say the Flatbed cart full of everything a cook could ask for was on there guessing $300.00 per Cart times 25 one each for every team. Great Vip dinner, real nice breakfast spread. This could really be one of the premier cookoffs in the country.

Thank you to all that put this event on!!

Chicken in butter

Posted by New2Q on August 08, 2010 at 22:43:29: Alert Hot Thread - You have to read this one!!!

I see a lot of talk about cooking chicken in butter or other liquids. In fact, it is the topic of the poll. Can someone explain to me why and how you cook chicken in butter or liquid? Why liquids are used and how the cooking is done? I have never heard of this before but it seems to be popular and I'd like to give it a try. Thank you.

I love hearing or reading stories like the ones he wrote about down below. It would be interesting to read more from people who have stories about spending time with their grandparents back in the wonder years. Anybody care to share? Thanx Steve.
