Score 5. It's hard to believe that any cook would submit a box that looks this bad. The slices appear to be thick which would lead be to believe that it is dry and over cooked. My first look at the over burnt ends was that the cook put the charcoal in the box by mistake. Absolutely NO appeal to this entry what-so-ever. Pass me by on this box if possible.

I give this one a 9. Haven't seen that arrangment before. Would like to see some bark on the slices, and burnt ends look alittle big. But still a 9.

7 slices look unusual, more like seared on a flat top rather than on a smoker. That did not affect my score, just a opinion of the appearance, meat looks dry and brunt ends look too Burnt!

Score/Reasons: 6 - The slices appear rather pale and uninteresting. The 6 peices on the right look like charcoal briquettes...way too dark and burnt. Not good.

Score/Reasons = 6-5/The slices look overdone and grey and the burnt ends appear truly burned and not appetizing at all. Not a good presentation.

Score = 7: Slices look OK, but the burnt ends look.......well burnt. They look like sauce was put on them, they were returned to the smoker and sauce got burnt. Just doesn't look that appetizing to me.

Score/Reasons = 6. Nice arrangement. Unfortumately there is such a huge difference between the appearance of the flat and the burnt ends it is off putting. There is little bark/color on the flat. The rough texture of the grain in the top half of each slice makes me think this may be a tough brisket. The burnt ends are very dark and are not appealing.

Score/Reasons = 5, meat slices look decent but overcooked. The burnt ends are so bad they should not have been put in the box.

This appears to be two different briskets. One cooked on a pellet smoker which is under cooked with little smoke and the other cooked on a stick burner leaving the meat overdone and burnt. Not impressed with this box and would give it a 5.

I like the pieces on the left, but the burnt ends on the right are so dark and so dry (appearance) that to me this takes away from the overall appeal of the box; 7

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
