I give it a 9 but just by a hair. I dont really like the uneven painting of the slices. Cant wait to see if it is tender.

Without the gritty looking stuff all over the slices, I'd give you a 9.

I give it an 8

I took off a point because it seems like you added a light sprinkle of something on the meat and that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Get rid of the whatever those specs are and the "appearance" would be a 9.

Plus you really don't need all that extra rub or season on a good piece of brisket if it's good it's good on it's own and will taste as such.

Score 7. The box is over filled, the meat is oversauce and the additional spices sprinkled over the meat makes the entire box unappealling.

The photo image is off from wrong choice of color tone and or saturation, making it difficult to access this box. That being said the slices are unevenly placed, unevenly sauced and heavily spiced. I would suggest cleaning off the spice that is visable, line the slices up with equal amounts of meat below the smoke ring and apply the sauce uniformly.

9 - Looks well planned and executed, meat is uniform in size, color and apparent texture. Burnt end create a nice frame for the slices. Slices look juicy.

Too many samples. Great for the volunteer table - but make the box less of what I come to expect of excellent appearance entries.

Rub/Sauce is uneven.

8 or 9, depending on how truly dark the burnt ends are (they appear BLACK in this photo)

Otherwise nice entry. Looks appetizing.

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.

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. ;-)
