Not wanting to hi-jack Hawgsnheifers thread....
KCBS says brisket may be also be turned in chopped or pulled. Has anyone done so?
Same goes for chicken. HAs anyone chopped it or just turn in pieces?

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.
That's weird, I have never even competed in your area! :tongue:
I was always told that slices should be the width of a number 2 pencil. Anyone else heard of this?

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.
In KCBS Judge class this past weekend, though we were told "about the thickness of a #2 pencil", but there is no standard. It was said a thicker slice could hide the meat from being over cooked and a thinner slice could hide the meat from being under cooked.
That kinda sucks that judges are being told how to judge tenderness by appearance. The word "COULD" is key in that sentence. I see no reason to make that statement to judges at all. :evil: Tenderness should be judged by the mouth and not the eyes.
