As usua, I wish there was no sauce on the slices but it looks like they have excellent bark. The ends appear to have plenty of meat and don't look like charcoal. I'd like to see the actual color since I'm sure the yellow glare has affected it. I LIKE the irregular slices and won't quibble about the garnish between the ends and the first slice. I'd like to try this, unlike the majority of the brisket I see.

Score 7. The meat is coated (oversauced) with an off color sauce which makes this box unappealing.

The BE in the front make the box too heavily weighted there. Suggest using smaller sized chunks or moving from front. The progression of slices, large-small is nice, however the whole of the slices is leaning to the right.

9 - Great looking box. In most brisket entries the box just doesn't look as good when the burnt ends are in front, but it works well for this box. I would definitely want some.

best box I have ever seen!!
I am tweaking the color in my mind to make up for the poor picture.
Is that every 3rd slice? looks pencil thick to me and just yummy. I could eat the whole box myself.

I'd give it an 8. It's over-sauced in my opinion.

Looks good, but I don't like the color on the face of the slices - looks un-natural.

It may be the pork guy in me, but I rather like the burnt ends or pieces not cut into perfect squares.

Making allowance for the peculiar coloring of the photo itself, I don't mind the tapered beef slices either. The only thing keeping this off a 9 IMHO are the blemishes in the back pieces in the upper right. To the cook, perhaps slice the ends off and put more pulled/sliced chunks on either side.

SCORE/REASONS FOR SCORE: Score this entry and give reasons for your score. DO NOT mention garnish or smoke rings in your reasons for scoring. We judge meat only.

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. ;-)
