Are KCBS judges more or less likely to be current/former cooks? On various forums I hear comments about "Judges nitpicking the look of the box" as far as scoring goes and it got me to wondering if this is because they are cooks themselves or does it happen because they have never lit a pit but are Certified Judges? I currently cook in other sanctioned c/o's but am looking to start KCBS next year and was looking for all the info I can get before I jump in!
