Typical Spam can, overtrimmed, barkless KCBS brisket with fake burnt ends that aren't even burnt. Probably tastes like beef boullion

Score 9. Nice looking box of brisket. I might suggest the cook consider leaving out one of the slices as the box looks realyt full and with one less slice I believe the box would be more balanced.

8 typical trimmed brisket with no bark

9. The only thing I can find to detract from this box is that the burnt ends aren't placed all the same way, but that's not nearly enough to knock it down a point. Meat looks moist - would like to have a piece!

I love slow cooking, but the most appetizing brisket for me is cooked a little bit faster so it get's a really dark bark. More defined layers in the meet, i.e. slightly charred outer skin and so on

8 - Could be a 7 in person. Slices appear too thick, garnish in the corners cover some meat, and burnt ends are just chunks.

Awesome looking brisket box. The only things I can add are that it would be nice to see the bark side of all the burnt ends on the right side, i.e. put all the bark sides up or don't. That is being very nit picky though. I'd give this box a 9.

Meat looks moist. everything sized nicely. Would like to see more bark but not a point take awayer. 9

BlueSmoke - KUDOS on not taking a point away because bark was not in the box. You simply judged what was in the box and THAT is exactly what is required by KCBS and also what cooks want you to do.

Unfortunately, some judges deduct for what isn't in the box based on their own personal preferences (or bias).

Nice job, BlueSmoke!

FROSTBUSTER BBQ JUDGES "Appearance" Scores: 9,9,9,9,9,9

All 9's from Frostbuster judges, and BBQ Critic's gave it 9's and 8's and even a 7's. Perhaps those scores would have been higher in person.

    Purpose

    The purpose of BBQ Critic's JudgeMyBox section is to provide feedback to competition cooks. Certified BBQ Judges who visit this site will score the photo of a contest box (using KCBS judging rules) and may optionally leave a comment explaining their score.

    The idea is to allow the cook to get inside the mind of a judge (judges do have varying opinions) so they can use this information to help improve scores on APPEARANCE.

    In turn, the BBQ Critic editorial team will provide feedback on some judge scores and commentary  that stray from the KCBS rules. This will help our judges become better judges and keeps everyone on the same page. Judges may also encounter some fun challenges at times (click for example).

    Comments about boxes or judges scores may be discussed in our online FORUM in a respectful manner.

    Please be mindful that scoring photo boxes may not be as accurate as scoring the box in person. Lighting, glare, angles, etc may affect the overall score. Judges also have more time to stare at your box, so that means we may get very detailed about the good and the bad.

    Have fun, judges! Oh, and cooks? Please send us your boxes. We love to judge Q here at BBQ Critic. ;-)
