Barbecue is defined by the Smoke of the Mountain Barbecue Cooking Contest as pork meat (FRESH OR FROZEN AND UNCURED) prepared only on a wood and/or charcoal fire, basted or not, as the cook sees fit, with any consumable substances and sauces the cook believes necessary.

MEAT FOR THE CONTEST MAY NOT BE PRECOOKED, SAUCED, SPICED, INJECTED, MARINATED, OR CURED IN ANY WAY, OR OTHERWISE PRE-TREATED PRIOR TO OFFICIAL MEAT INSPECTION. THIS WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION.
