8 - Meat appears somewhat dry. Also, smoke ring looks too wide. Perhaps artificial?

8. Varience in slice lengths take away from this brisket. Can't see the burnt ends very well to judge them. Meats looks juicy, which is good, but the smoke ring actually distracts from the meat.

7, meat looks rare (might be the picture) and has an odd brown streak running through the center.

8 i would like to see all of the pieces the same size otherwise, looks pretty good.

Score: 8 the smoke ring is very strange and a bit unappetizing. but the meat does look moist.

Score/Reasons = 8, Looks pretty good, but I'm not crazy about the overall appearance of the box. Nice job of using all consecutive slices, even though they aren't all the same size. The BEs don't help this box! Out of focus, but they look jumbled in the back like they were an afterthought.

Score/Reasons = 6, probably higher in person. This picture is too poor to properly judge. Can't discern if those are burnt ends at the top.

7.....Very unnatural looking brisket. Meat looks dry. Sliced burnt ends has good bark.

Another crappy picture... Here's why KCBS doesn't judge smoke ring,

7 (The focus and lighting is off, difficult to judge.) The slices are uniform and not over sauced, thickness unknown. Taste and texture might save this entry but you had to be there.

Score = 8, brisket looks a little dry from this photo.

Score / Reason = 6, The red "smoke Ring" really takes away from the appearance and makes it very unappetizing. The burnt ends are difficult to see due to the lighting on the pic.

score = 7, smoke ring looks "fake" or perhaps the meat is way over smoked and burnt ends look overdone
Pete - KCBS

score 7 - might have trimmed the fat a little tighter to the meat on this brisket.
Don

7 - although nice uniform cuts it does look a bit dry to me, burnt ends are there but cannot tell much about them (not sure if it is just the photo), also cannot tell width of cuts.

7 Poor picture quality prevents one from seeing meat texture.
Kendall - CBJ
5/16/2013 01:27:12 am
Maybe it's just the pic, but the meat looks quite red even though the middle of the cut does look fully cooked. I'd give it an 8 but it maybe a 9 in person.
Tony S CBJ

7 too pink for me and burnt ends look charred
Deb KCBS MCBJ/CTC

Score/Reasons: 8/ While the slices look ok, the burnt ends appear charred.

Score/Reason: I would score this box a 7. Color looks very interesting.

Score/Reasons = 7, smoke ring looks fake, and I know it is almost impossible to get a smoke ring thicker than 1/4". Though smoke ring is not to be considered, this large ring does not look appetizing.
Dick-MCBJ/CTC

Score 9. This brisket looks great without being covered in a sauce. The meat also appears cut from the same brisket and has great color.
Donna B

Score/Reasons = 7. Meat does not look appealing.
Jim S. CBJ KCBS NEBS

Score/Reasons = 7, Uneven length in the slices is distracting. The layer of fat on the first slice is unappealing.
Jim Perry

7 - Nice layering of slices although some are a bit mis-shaped. KCBS does not judge on the smoke ring so I will not either.

a 5. Good graduated arrangement, look moist, but thick smoke ring makes it unattractive. Rest of photo is fuzzy

7-8, hard to tell, picture blurred, can't see the back of box. What I can see is arranged nicely.

Score/Reasons =6 meat looks un-natural. Fat at bottom of slice not appealing. Can not see burnt ends well. Pieces are not uniform in length.
Jeff KCBS CBJ

Score/Reason 7 uneven cuts color very unappealing

8, a little hesitant on this. Looks moist, could be more uniform. I know we do not judge a smoke ring, but this draws your eye to it. Would like to taste it to see if more of a ring makes a difference. 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. ;-)
