Pulled pork looks good. Chunks look hard and dry. "Scoop" balls need more attention. Average the pulled and chucks......7

This is a legal box. It is not sculpting. The balls look dry. The bark pieces appear to have been tossed into the box with little thought to appearance. My generous score is a 7.

7 - Interesting placement in the box, but in some systems it would be considered a marked box. Not sure why the chunk piece at the top is there, but it doesn't look like it belongs.

6 - I suppose it was put in with an ice cream scoop, but the arrangement looks unappetizing. Meat also looks very dry.

Even though the balls of pork look like tuna it does look like it's tender. May be a little dry but I would still like to sample. 8, possibly a 9 in person.

7. The chunks appear dry - not sure about the pulled pork balls; they may be more moist than they look.

8 A bit unusual on presentation, but that's okay. Possibly dry, need to taste this one.

Score 7. The lack of balance and placement of the meat, the finely shreded meat, and the ice cream scoops of meat are the reasons for the score. Were they going to supply the ice cream scoop for the judges to remove the meat?.

Pork looks dry, both the scoops of pulled and the chunks. It looks like some sauce was mixed in with the pulled, but wasn't thoroughly mixed as there spots of yellowish areas on the scoops of pulled pork. Would it be better as just a pile of pulled pork? Or is it better as scoops? I'd give this box a 7.

6 - Not a fan of pork balls nor is there any balance to this box.

7. Does not look appealing almost like canned meat. If you are going to use scoops at least make it even and symmetrical. Appears that there is at least 6 bark pieces in box but it is also haphazardly placed.

Hmmm, a mound for each judge? Looks a little dry for my taste. I'd score a 7.

CERTIFIED BBQ JUDGES:
Please score this BBQ Competition box using the KCBS scoring system below. 9-Excellent 8-Very Good 7-Above Average 6-Average 5-Below Average 4-Poor 3-Bad 2-Inedible 1-DISQUALIFIED (give reason). Click on BOX # in title of post above photo. Fill out the "LEAVE A REPLY" form and use the following format to TITLE each section in your post: NAME FIELD ON FORM: State name/CBJ Organization (i.e, Tom - CBJ/KCBS). CBJ=Certified BBQ Judge 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. ;-) Archives by Month
