Score = 7, Big hunk of fat on top right of brisket slices isn't very appetizing. Front slice looks like it has some kind of aus jus or sauce on it , but it isn't even, looks sloppy.

The box does not appear to be a regulation square KCBS box.

Score/Reasons = 9, meat looks moist, but unevenly sauced on the first slice. Still looks dad-gum good to me!

8. Look moist. Nice arrangement. Good knife skills. However, ragged top edge gives the entire box a rough look.

Score/Reasons = 7. Tough to judge. May just be the picture. The meat is very light in color.

7 - A good entry. The bark is a little thin in my opinion and the bark could have been a little more robust. The color of the brisket itself is a little light. However, the product looks moist with consistent saucing.

7 - looks dry where the juice was missed and appears falling apart/ overcooked.

Score/Reasons = 5, with all that fat, it just doesn't look inviting to eat. The front slice really distracts as it has blotches of juice and some rub that is not seen on the other slices.

8 - pretty good looking box, I'm not going to knock you for not trimming both sides. Meat looks moist and well laid out, but there is noticeable fat that takes away from appearance.

8 - The brisket looks moist - but it also looks grey (bland) and that detracts from a 9 for me.

6 at best. Looks over cooked. Fat ridge along the top is unappetizing. Some slices look don't have sauce. Sloppy cuts along the left side.

8 cracks don't look good and cuts a bit ragged,suggests dryness

8 Looks nice and moist. I would remove all fat from the top. This will give you better bark and smoke ring...

6- Meat lack rich color; the sauce or glaze looks unevenly applied to the first slice and the little bits in the sauce are unappealing to the eye. Also the fat chucks along the top center of the slices is unappealing.

I'm imagining this in my head the way it would be shown at the table and staring at the ends of your slices just won't do it for me. Pouring gravy on it don't make it moist either, just wet....

Score/Reasons = 8, edges look dry but I can see it's been basted in the middle, uniform cuts.

6 - sloppy box. Trim the fat cap and make the slices even. The sauce is uneven. Do not like the spice specks on the front piece. Overall, clean it up.

7. Meat looks dry and appears to have been brushed with some kind of liquid to cover up the dryness. The bark looks yummy though.

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
