Score=9! Great presentation! This brisket looks very appetizing and hopefully tastes as good as it looks.

8 brisket looks good and score would have been a 9 had the fat on the top been rendered and caramelized into bark. the fat rim is a little off putting.

7 - love the 'burnt' ends(9) - hate the slices(5) - grey, dry looking, not enough smoke.

8 - Another manipulated picture. It would be helpful to try to take the picture as the judges will see the box. Not sure what to make of the presentation in the back. It looks like a mixture of BEs and pulled. I like the fat on the slices but it may put some judges off. As a suggestion I would trim the fat on top. The slices look very good but I'd like to see a bit more bark.

Score = 9. Delicious looking brisket. Appreciate that both the burnt ends and the slices are included. Both cuts look delectable. This is a great example of meat allowed to stand on its own without too much sauce. Very nicely presented.

Nice full box. Like the non square BE's. Not a fan of manufactured post cook slicing, but as presented, a good job of cuts. Slices a little thick, but I like 'em thicker.

8 Box looks nice, nice arrangement, my question is why is the top of all the slices differant,uneven, not 1 matches?

7 - This brisket looks uninspiring. Slices appear to be almost gray. Slices also appear not to be facing the same direction (some fat is on left, some fat is on right). I can't tell from the photo what that jumbled pile at the top of the photo (behind the slices) is supposed to be.

7 - Dry looking fatty flat, radom odd looking pieces of point.

8. Slices look dry. The chunks look moist. I'm not a big fan of showing the fat on brisket slices.

Score = 9. I was going to mark down for the uneven fat on top of the slices, but came to the decision that was nit picky. The burnt ends look awesome and I would be looking forward to tasting them.

I would give this box an 8. Slices are trimmed very uniform and burnt ends look great! I would score this box a 9 if the fat was trimmed off the slices.

Score: 7-8 - The meat appears a bit dry and the top of the slices could be cleaned up a bit to give a more symmetrical appearance.

8 - a little bit too much fat showing on the slices and the uniformity seems a bit out of place. Not sure about the pulled pieces at the top.

7 looks like strips of brisket, not burnt end chunks that I expect

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
