8 - Nice arrangement but the pulled in the middle looks dry to me.

Score = 9!

Love this presentation! Everything looks moist and there's not too much sauce. Just the right amount of bark...great job!!

9. Looks great!!

Tiffany - KCBS CBJ/CTC

8 - The pulled looks a little bland, a bit of bark here or there would help the color pop and make it look more appealing. And I'm not sure about the pork cubes...

9.

Good looking box of pork. Only critique I have would be that chunk at the bottom right being out of line with the rest.

Steve Amos

8, nice looking box, even slices on the money muscle, the right amount of sauce on the pulled, but the chunks at the bottom are all over the place.

Try to line up your pulled so that the strips are going in the same direction.

What a nice looking box. Shiny and not too much sauce. looks eady to eat. Score 9

Dick-MCBJ/CTC

5/22/2014 02:14:16

Score 9. Nice mixed of meat and a nice box layout. I hope the bright red color is just due to the picture.

Hank CBJ/KCBS

5/22/2014 03:05:44

Score = 9

Nice looking turn-in. The chunks at the bottom could use a cleaner and more uniform cut.

Mike- KCBS, GBA, CBJ

9- Great looking box. I like the presentation of three versions of the pork.

9......Great box of pork. All three types look moist and nicely sauced. Even slices on the M/M. Great care was taken in assembling the box.

Cleaner cuts on the cubes. they look a little ragged.

9-looks good

Tom – CMJ/KCBS;CBJ/MBN,NCPC,NCBS,NCBBQA & comp cook

Score/Reasons = 9, looks moist and very appetizing!

Suggestions/Comments = might want to go a bit lighter on the sauce, but looks great. photo is a bit pink..

9 - Great color and appears moist. Great box.

Pros: Box is full of meat and the attention to presentation detail is apparent. Looks like you got good smoke on the meat and I see some spices on the chunks in front. I wanna eat!

Suggestion: The only thing that distracted from your box, was that the pulled meat "looks" dry. Could be the picture, but something to keep in mind.

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS

5/22/2014 05:37:32

Score/Reasons = 9/Meat is well placed in the box, it appears moist and succulent. The sauce doesn't appear to overwhelm the meat. I would definitely like to dig in!

8. Good layout. looks moist, nice placement. Good knife skills. However one of the seven cubes is away out of alignment.

5/22/2014 06:07:49

9 Good job! Could look a little more uniform and moist but overall a great box - MCBJ

Glenn - KCBS CBJ, CTC

9. Excellent looking box. Nice variety of samples. Each look delicious and presented very well.

jaja01 KCBS MCBJ CTC

5/22/2014 07:59:05

Score/Reasons = 9, Looks pretty good. Make sure the ends are evenly cut into the same size cubes.

Suggestions/Comments = Just make sure the cubes are cubes and evenly cut.

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score = 9, Wow, great pork box. Can't see much wrong with this box.

Bryan CBJ/KCBS

5/22/2014 08:13:19

8 Nice full plate. Color is good. Maybe a neater arrangement of the bottom cubes would help.

Tim - CBJ/KCBS

5/22/2014 13:58:13

A solid 8, maybe a 9. Boxes I see in competitions rarely look this good. Even distribution of pieces, nice shine, moist looking.

One thought is the lighting is good for this photo. Some of the buildings/tents we judge in have very poor light and I imagine that affects appearance.

Matt KCBS CBJ

5/23/2014 02:54:32

Score/Reasons = 9 - excellent

Suggestions/Comments = No comments needed. 9 all day long.

Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC

5/23/2014 03:52:35

Score/Reasons = 9, ignored the fact that the white balance was off giving the orange tinge. Good looking pork.

Suggestions/Comments = Be careful with the three types. If one is off it will lower the score of the box.

Deb KCBS MCBJ/CTC

5/23/2014 07:11:38

Score/Reasons: 9 all day long! Good looking meat- wish I could take a bite!

Suggestions/Comments: Personally, I wouldn't tell you to change a thing. Great job!

9, look great

shawn higgins

Score = 9

I love this presentation. The color is on par, nice meaty pieces that look very moist. Nice to show various types including pulled and sliced. Great Job.

9-- equal amount of samples in box pulled. chunks, and money muscle all placed neatly . looks really good.

Scott A. KCBS/MBJ

5/25/2014 02:04:21

That's an easy 9. Tremendous looking box
I like the square chunks in front. That's a little different touch in a pork box

Ed KCBS MCBJ

5/25/2014 04:13:17

It's all there and I want it...
Excellent 9.

Dennis M

Nice color and looks moist.

Score/Reasons = 9 - Excellent looking trio of cuts. Moist looking, while not over sauced.

Suggestions/Comments = placement of "burnt ends" in a curve contrasted artistically with the slices of the top row. The leftmost cube could match the angle of the rightmost cube to improve it even more. Great box.

Don Ousley

5/29/2014 07:26:54

score 8, looks great other than the little cubes of pork, proly would have removed thiose

Bob CBJ/KCBS

6/3/2014 08:50:27

Score 9. Nice selection and looks moist.

Burnt ends could be a bit more uniform.

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. ;-)
