9. Meat looks good and moist. Different size slices are not enough to knock down to an 8, IMHO.

7 - Slices are a bit thick and the ends are ragged and chopped off. The top two slices appear to be cut with the grain, but it could just be the camera angle/photo quality.

9 - Nice, simple box, neat and clean with a great looking product.. The meat does the talking without the gimmicks some people try on the judges.

Good looking brisket box. Looks like there are some droplets of water on the edge of the box. Some cooks will spray they meat/box with water to get a nice shine. Wipe the excess droplets off the box when you are done. This will make the box look neater. You want the judges eyes to notice only the meat, not be distracted by the water droplets. I'd give this box an 8.

7 - It's a nice box but the meat just doesn't have that pop. The bark looks light

This box got mostly 8's and 9's from BBQ Critic judges - very close to the Frostbuster folks. Good job!

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. ;-)
