Not CBJ (I run a KCBS Contest)

I am thinking about a 6. The color looks nice, but it loks like it could be slightly overcooked (but this could be the photo). It's nice to see sliced and chunk. Nice job!

Nice presentation. I couldn't wait to taste this fine product...that's what you strive for on appearance.

Looks good to me. Nice and simple. I give this a 9 for appearance.

9

Reason - Looks Excellent. For a moment it appeared as if it might be dry but then so do the burnt ends and I've yet to encounter a dry burnt end (is it even possible?). So that means it must just be the photo.

Suggestions - None, would love to taste it.

I would give them a 8

Meat color is right on, nice neat slices tips look great.

I took off a point because slices seem to be twice as thick as they should be. Not sure if they sliced that way because it was over cooked, but if not thin up the slices and it's an easy 9

Generally looks pretty good and appetizing, but the front slice looks a bit dry. Curious about the chunks in the back as they really don't look like "burnt ends". Still I like this box, but not excellent.

Score 8. I would like to see the ends moved to the front of the box and since the meat has already been trimmed it would add to the contrast of the box if the meat was cut skightly shorter and the garnish would show more on the sides.

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. ;-)
