Score 7 Meat looks overcooked and might be thick cut to prevent falling apart.

9!!! First impression was to say it looked dry. However, the overall box shows the Cook took the time to make a great looking box.

Suggestion: Spritz a little moisture on it to enhance presentation.

6 - box layout is good, but the meat looks very dry and unappealing to me.

Score: 7

Love the layout and meat looks to be cut just right.

Comment: I took off for the meat looking dry and bland. Smoke ring looks nice but its the part in middle of meat between smoke rings that look dry and bland.

Looks a little dry in the picture and the bark isn't very dark. Also looks like there are some discolorations from some type of injection. I'd give this box a 7.

7. Looks dry and washed out. Not a fan of the mottling that can occur with some injections - this entry has that look.

This looks dry and unappetizing. The tops of the brisket are not even with each other in the box giving it a rather haphazard appearance. It would be better if the pieces had an even amount exposed giving it a symmetrical appearance. Although not necessarily taken into consideration in scoring the garnish isn't even and has several pieces sticking up the side of the box ruining an otherwise pretty garnish bed.

Looks very dry and I don't like the discolorization on some of the slices. Might be better in person, but all we have to go on is this photo.

Not the color I expect, so I'm thinking it's gonna taste unexpected as well. Expecting much darker meat around the edges, which is what makes a really nice brisket in my opinion.

7-APPERS DRY -MIGHT TRY SAUCING /DIPPING BACK IN JUICES OR EVEN SPRITZING WITH SOME JUICE, COUPLE SLICES I SEE FAT , MIGHT TRIM A LITTLE MORE PRIOR TO COOKING

6 - The meat looks very dry. There does not appear to be any bark on the outside and the color of the meat is strangely pale, almost like pork? A last minute glaze of reserved brisket juices or thinned sauce might help with the color and shininess.

    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. ;-)
