Score = 7

The pieces look uniform and it's a nice presentation. It's a little heavy on the sauce and it not uniform across all of the pieces.

I would give an 8. Sauce looks a bit gloopy on some of the chicken

Bill F
6/27/2013 12:24:26 pm

8 Too much sauce, otherwise perfect.

David - CBJ/KCBS
6/27/2013 12:45:00 pm

Score - 9 Very nice box, good mahogany color, all thighs appear to be identical in size and orientation.

Suggestions - possibly a bit less glaze but still looks good.

Sully CBJ
6/27/2013 12:48:49 pm

7 way too much sauce, plus the sauce is uneven

Lorne Rae
6/27/2013 01:17:07 pm

an 8. Good layout, even color and size, look moist. Lower right sauce has run spoiling an otherwise nice box.

Dan KCBS CTC,MCBJ

8 nice box, nice color except for glob on lower rh thigh

Pay more attention to sauce placement

Larry MCBJ
6/27/2013 02:00:04 pm

Great color and nice presentation. Score =8.

Suggestion: Putting the sauce on about 30 min. before removing will allow it to "set" and the gloppy sauce will be minimized.

An excellent box, in fact, one of the best I have seen. Pieces are uniform in size, shape, and color. The glaze is spread evenly and is quiteattractive. An easy 9, quite possibly a 10. Would like to taste this one

John - KCBS / MCBJ, CTC, Rep; MBN & MIM Judge
6/27/2013 02:34:28 pm

Score/Reasons: 9 - beautiful box of nicely trimmed thighs. Nice color says "dive in." And, I'd be glad to oblige.

Suggestions/comments: No suggestions.
Comment: Thank you for not caving in to the muffin tin fad. This meat looks awesome.

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
6/27/2013 02:46:38 pm

Score/Reasons = 8; I'm not a fan of "shiny" BBQ, only because seeing a reflection of myself doesn't tell me much about the meat.

Suggestions/Comments: Chicken does not shine nor reflect; sauce as you will, but avoid "polishing" it to the point that it no longer looks like part of the chicken!

Jeff KCBS CBJ
6/27/2013 03:29:47 pm

score/reason 7 maybe 8 in person little over sauced, coudl be a little more uniform size, and straighter in the box.

Don
6/27/2013 04:21:19 pm

9 - nice color, uniformed placed product, sauce a bit globby. Like the fact that the meat product was not over shadowed by the garnish.

Ralph, KCBS CBJ
6/27/2013 04:27:42 pm

8 - nice color, look plump and moist but sauce is gloppy. Garnish is nice but could be more uniform under meat, just a bit distracting.

Pete - KCBS
6/27/2013 05:05:23 pm

Score 7 - Pretty saucy, shape looks more like baked potatoes than a piece of chicken but it's got an appealing color and looking at it makes me really hungry.

Mike Cannon
6/27/2013 06:06:59 pm

8 - a little artificial looking.

George
6/27/2013 09:57:19 pm

9 - Looks great.

Dick-MCBJ-CTC
6/27/2013 10:11:36 pm

Score 7. Reason: It appears there might be some great chicken in this box, but due to the heavy coating of sauce I can not really see the chicken for doneness or color.

Chaz D KCBS CBJ
6/27/2013 11:50:54 pm

Score/Reason: 8 The pieces and color are good but the sauce is really uneven and clumpy looking.

Suggestions/Comments: Looks like you may have poured some sauce on after the pieces were boxed up. You really need to find a way to make your glaze a lot more even

Mary Linder
6/27/2013 11:59:45 pm

Looks very, very good. Possibly a little heavy on the sauce on some pieces.

Shawn-KCBS CBJ and Comp Cook
6/28/2013 12:16:38 am

Score/Reason: I would score this box an 8. Chicken looks moist and glaze looks nice.

Suggestions: You may want to try to trim your pieces a little more uniform if possible.

Russ Hazzon
6/28/2013 12:28:45 am

Score/Reasons = 8, looks ok. Meat looks a little crammed in box, sauce uneven and too heavy in spots, one piece looks darker than the rest.

Suggestions/Comments = use more garnish to raise the meat - this will give you a larger surface area and meat won't look so crammed. Thin the sauce before applying so it doesn't look so thick and coats meat more evenly.

Greg MCBJ/KCBS
6/28/2013 01:07:06 am

score=9
very sharp looking box

BlueSmoke KCBS CBJ/COMP COOK

9....Nice color. Good shine and the meat looks moist.


Be careful with the sauce. Goopy in places. Borderline over sauced

Kendall - CBJ
6/28/2013 03:10:05 am

Looks great! Maybe could be a little better on the sauce application, but I'd still give it a 9.

Steve Russell
6/28/2013 03:24:16 am

Scored this an 8 - very neat appearance with the garnish (just enough) and uniformity with the pieces of meat, but uneven application of sauce. Couple of pieces had alot more than the others.

Deb KCBS MCBJ/CTC
6/28/2013 03:48:03 am

Score/Reasons: 9, Looks good, nice consistency of the pieces and good color.

Suggestions/Comments: Even though this box looks like chicken that I'd be anxious to try, be careful with the amount of sauce. This is borderline, but I gave the benefit of the doubt to the cook.

Greg KCBS CBJ
6/28/2013 04:12:24 am

9- Great coloring. Moist appearance. A lot of work went into this box. Excellent!

Jim S. NEBS KCBS CBJ
6/28/2013 04:17:15 am

Score/Reasons = 8, Nice looking Chicken. Uniformly shapped, nice color. Just a bit over sauced.

Suggestions/Comments = We don't judge on garnish. However garnish can be a strong tool to hilight you meat. The left side of the box look sparae compared to the right side. A bit more focus on the garnish to "frame in" you entry, could help get a better score.

Justin M link
6/28/2013 04:30:48 am

8 sauce looks a little gloppy and heavy. Thin the sauce out a little and then definitely a 9

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
6/28/2013 04:35:15 am

Score = 8, Sauce and color is uneven on some of the pieces.

Matt P.
6/28/2013 03:03:14 pm

8 - The thighs are large and look to be well cooked and moist. However, the sauce is heavy and uneven, especially the piece in the lower right.

Suggestion - with thighs that large a little more garnish around the outside to frame them would help with the presentation.

Rod
6/28/2013 03:22:56 pm

8,the sauce looks kinda uneven and splotchy in places, other than that they look pretty nice.

Ed KCBS MCBJ
6/29/2013 12:47:55 am

Nice full box, great color, nice size grouping.
Only detractor is the uneven application of sauce, I think that alone costs you a point.
Very good 8.

Tom - CBJ w/ KCBS, MBN, NCPC & comp cook
6/29/2013 02:20:31 am

Score/Reasons = 8, Looks pretty good, but sauce looks too thick and not spread evenly.

Suggestions/Comments = fix problems above.

Bill C KCBS MCBJ/CTC

9. Beautiful box.

Dan Sawdy
6/30/2013 09:53:11 am

I's score it an 8 on account not all pcs look the same

Old Goat link
6/30/2013 12:00:10 pm

8 A very Nice box

Please heat the glaze to get the smooth finish

jaja01 KCBS MCBJ CTC
7/1/2013 12:29:26 am

Score/Reasons = 7, the red color, to me, does not cause me to want to taste the meat. Also, the sauce is not applied evenly as can be seen on the sides of the meat.

Suggestions/Comments = Suggest using a less red colored sauce. Try to keep the meat more natural looking. Also, if painting on a sauce, ensure all of the meat is painted, top and sides.

Matt KCBS CBJ
7/1/2013 12:50:11 am

8 - Very good - very good color, chicken looks good enough to eat!

Comments - apply the sauce a little more evenly before setting it up in the smoker.

Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC
7/1/2013 12:56:19 am

Score/Reasons = 8. Nice color. Would be a 9 without the heavy sauce. A thin glaze is all you need.
Suggestions/Comments = Garnish is a bit sparse.

Gary Hubert
7/1/2013 02:38:33 am

8 Sauce a little unevenly applied

Dan CBJ/KCBS
7/2/2013 06:33:38 am

Score = 9. This is a good, sharp photo which makes a big difference online. This is a very appealing box. Looks like the skin will be very tender with no globs of fat. The color of the chicken against the parsley is striking and I think it would look even better if green was visible all around the edges. The box is a tiny bit crowded too. Judging on the meat alone, as we should be, this is good stuff.

Scott - KCBS CBJ
7/3/2013 10:25:29 am

Score/Reasons = 7, above average box. Chicken pieces are even sized and have a nice color. Some pieces look a bit dry and unevenly sauced.

    EMAIL FIELD ON FORM:

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.

    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. ;-)
