9 Baby
Not basted, sauced, dipped or injected.
Actual, bonafide, juicy, smoked brisket with a little fat on it. Same guy as the previous chicken box. I got to eat some the next day and this stuff was melt in your mouth awesome. This brisket by the first timer came in 12th out of 37 teams. One judge gave 9-9-9 and another 8-9-9. Wish I'da got to judge it. This is what brisket is supposed to taste like. The hole in the front piece is not from injection mark.

Immediate thought when I looked at the box was that it looked dry. I don't like a lot of sauce or aus jus on my brisket, but a little spritz of something would help this look more moist. I'm not crazy about the color, although I see a lot of brisket that looks like this. Also, the fat on the left side of most slices turns me off a little. Still, I'd definitely like to try some!

I am going to reward this tray for the meat and the tasty meat alone. I do wish there were burnt ends but just looking at what is presented. It looks like unadulterated brisket and I want to taste it. No fake Sheen! No perfect spacing! just a tray of select looking brisket. and each filament looks like it will separate and melt in my mouth.

The front piece is just a little "ragged" on the bottom - and I get an impression the meat is a little "dry"

I'd give it a 7. I think the balance and layout could have been done better. The meat itself does look tasty and moist.

A suggestion would be to place slices very symetrically, equadistant,one to the next.
Overall the meat looks appetizing.

8-Because the meat looks good and juicy.

You might spend a little time on the garnish and slice arrangement.

I give it an 8

Meat looks tender and juicy, but seems to be sliced very thin causing the cuts to be rigged and not clean.

I would possible slice them a bit thicker to give a cleaner cut unless there was a specific reason they where sliced thin ;)

I would score this a 6. It just looks too rough like it wasn't sliced correctly against the grain enough. Also looks a little fatty.

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. ;-)
