Looks good. It's cut a bit thick it seems so it must be tender. Would like a little more color on it, but great smoke ring. I'd give it an 8, but may give it a 9 if I seen it in person.

Score = 8: Slices are not all the same length and are not arranged neatly in the box.

8....Meat looks moist. Nice color. Slices are evenly cut but a little ragged. Slices not lined up. Back two needs to be straightened out.

Slices are a little ragged and seem to be turned in different directions. I don't mind the oddly shaped and piled-up burnt ends but it does give the box a more haphazard look overall, which many judges can't abide. Color is very light but the meat looks tasty, moist without being slathered in sauce or gravy. I give it a 7 and maybe an 8 if an in-person view showed it in a better light.

At first I thought it looked a little anemic/blah, but just judging as presented I think it looks moist, well cooked and just because there is no hard bark does not mean it won't be delish.
Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS

Score/Reasons = 8/Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was the haphazard placement of the meat rather than the meat itself. The brisket has good color and looks like it may be moist and tender, but the cook should have taken more time to present his product.

6 - smoke ring uneven. BEs too small. No interest in sampling this meat.

Score/Reasons: 8 - Meat looks good except the second-to-last slice disrupts the appearance.

slices don't match other wise looks good-8

Score/Reasons = 9, meat looks moist and delicious. NOT Perfect, but doesn't have to be to be a 9. Not lined up perfectly, and the BEs/chunks are light, but still looks dad-gum good to me!

9 nice box

9 - Some might give you an 8 because of the top pieces not being perfectly displayed, but I like the look and the color is perfect.
Damon Ballard

Nothing there to downgrade, I guess people could find some fault with the 2nd piece from the top being placed backwards, but those people are tedious. I think you did well!

Score 8, would be 7.5 but can't. Uniformity is a little distracting and the color looks light lending to a very mild taste I would suspect. I like that it looks tender and juicy but only wish I could taste.

7- very inconsistent box. Slices very uneven. Burnt ends look thrown in the box, not placed. Color looks off, not consistent. Greenery is sparsely placed, needs to be more full.

Score/Reasons = 8, nice slices. Especially like the free form look to the burnt ends. Doesn't look thrown in at all, but not lined up in a row, either. Good placement.
Wayne KCBS/CBJ

Score/Reasons = 7. The uniformity and arrangement of the slices contribute to my score, as does the variation of the pieces in front. The color is a little bland. On the upside, I like the lack of sauce, and the meat appears to be moist, which keeps my score in the above average range.

8 - Uneven placement makes it appear the cook was rushed.

9 - Want to dive in! Looks moist without being over sauced, anticipate a great smoky flavor. Slices look a little thick so a small worry that it will be overcooked, but doesn't look overly dark so that evens out score-wise. Great presentation.

Score/reasons: 8. Meat looks moist.
Greg Hastie

Score/Reasons =7, the meat looks moist and tender but pale'ish. It doesn't look like it is not appetizing. the absence of bark or a crispier smoke looked on the edges would really help.
Vern KCBS MCBJ

8 - Need to develop darker bark. Slices need to placed more uniformly and burnt ends should be cubed and more uniform.

Score 5 Slices are not uniform. Attention to detail in slice placement is lacking. Burnt ends are not uniform.
Rick CBJ/KCBS

Score/Reasons = 8. Box is nice and full. Slices look to be moist, evenly sliced with a nice, uniform color. Burnt ends have a nice color and appear moist.

8 Sample looks moist, but presentation needs to be addressed.

I would give this box an 8 the meat could have been placed more uniformly specifically the back piece.

I received email complaints from cooks and judges that CBJ's are judging the Smoke Ring on this box. We all know KCBS does not allow us to judge the Smoke Ring because it can be fabricated. So please be mindful of this rule. Comments are closed.

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. ;-)
