Absolutely a solid 9 - gorgeous color, shine, placement and delicious looking pieces of brisket.

BBQ CRITIC

BBQ Critic is going to try something new by posting editorial commentary on judge scores and comments. Cooks and judges alike have expressed in emails to the site they would like to see someone from BBQ Critic chime in now and then on the scoring in Judge My Box as part of the learning process. So what the heck, let's give it a try.

We will not do this for all boxes submitted, but from time to time will offer feedback to judges when desired. The editorial commentary will come from a group of judges who work closely with BBQ Critic, so comments will not come from one individual.

This is intended to help both cooks and judges who read this page. If you wish to comment on BBQ Critic feedback, please open up a discussion in the BBQ Critic forum in the JUDGE MY BOX section. Here we go...

Official BBQ Critic Score = 9

Very consistent scoring from all BBQ Critic Online Judges. Very nice! Danielle nailed it "gorgeous color, shine, placement."

David Young made a very important comment "Not too much greenery." An overwhelming amount of greenery can distract some judges even though it is a meat contest. The cook here was wise in overwhelming us with nice looking meat instead of a jungle of greens.

Oh, and Rita? Makes me hungry, too. Loved that after-dinner comment. ;-)

Good job judges!

The glaze looking sauce doesn't look appealing to me.

while I won't judge down for knife marks, I know some that will.

Invest in a good slicer knife

Overall: 9

As close to perfect as I have seen the entire year. Be very very proud of that box.

Looks super in constructing and assembling. But, a little dry appearing. Maybe dip it in sauce, or hit it with a bit of a glaze.

Looks like brush strokes on leading slice? Or deep knife marks? Can't tell from photo. Clean it up and it'd be a solid 9. Looks great otherwise!

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. ;-)
