Score 7. Brisket appears overcooked, dry, and the cuts are very rough looking. It may have helped to use a LIGHT coating of sauce.

9. Beautiful! One tiny suggestion - Watch the alignment of the meat, i.e. evenly placed in the box, side-to-side and top to bottom.

9 well organized. The burnt ends are nice looking, the meat looks moist and looks as if I want to taste it now.

7 - would like to see more smoke in the slices. Also I think it would look better with the ends in front of the slices.

Nice bark on the burnt ends. Slices look like they may be dry. Needs a wetter look. No real "Pop" to the box.......7

7. Washed out color of slices moves this one down a notch. May be higher in person. (no, this is not kale). Suggestion: lose the meat goobers and try to even up the arrangement of the slices (box may have been mishandeled).

7-8 - The meat is lacking the appearance of moisture. In person, it might look better. Also, the meat needs to be trimmed better! There are several little bits that could easily be trimmed off and give a neater presentation!

No real super pop here. It does look well cooked maybe a little dry looking and bland. Lack of bark is noticeable. Placement of slices a smidge haphazard.

I would give a 9. Not too much green even color. Upon zooming in there seems to be some injection marks and tags. Good looking burnt ends! No smoke ring though. Where did it go?

8 looks very good, but nothing really makes it pop inside the box!

9 - it looks great. Just make sure that you evenly space each piece of brisket. Some look uneven in the layering. Also, adding a few more greens to fill up the container will show off the brisket even more.

My first impression is hi 7, lo 8. This box would probably get an 8 on contest day, because I'm looking at an overall evaluation and the old saying if you're caught between two numbers, give'em the benefit of the doubt. IF I were a nitpicker, there are a few minor things to look at. The brisket slices look a bit dry (could be the photo) and they're not aligned very well. The Burnt ends are not evenly placed, but that's barely worth a mention. There is also some sauce dribbled on one of the slices. Overall the brisket looks like something I'd like to throw on some Texas toast and have lunch!

CERTIFIED BBQ JUDGES:
Please score this BBQ Competition box using the KCBS scoring system below. 9-Excellent 8-Very Good 7-Above Average 6-Average 5-Below Average 4-Poor 3-Bad 2-Inedible 1-DISQUALIFIED (give reason). Click on BOX # in title of post above photo. Fill out the "LEAVE A REPLY" form and use the following format to TITLE each section in your post: NAME FIELD ON FORM: State name/CBJ Organization (i.e, Tom - CBJ/KCBS). CBJ=Certified BBQ Judge EMAIL FIELD ON FORM: You must be a "registered" BBQ Critic Online Judge in order to judge boxes on this site. Proof of registration is your email. All registered judges are required add their email to the email form field. Emails are kept private and not published. If you do not list your email, your score/post will not appear on the site. 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. SUGGESTIONS: Feel free to offer any suggestions on how to improve the box (keep separate from reasons why you scored the box). You can mention anything here such as garnish suggestions. 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. ;-) Archives by Month
