8. Looks like it is a bit burnt with that heavy bark. But still looks good to eat.

I would rate this a 8. I would add a bit of glaze to make it a bit more moist looking

8 - Nice box "o" chunks but...Pieces of bark should be more equal in size. Some look long, others small. Looks moist though...

Score/Reasons = 8, looks pretty good for a full box of pulled pork, but the black bark detracts from the appetizing element.

Score/Reasons: 7 - I love the full box, I love all those bark pieces, but I don't love that the meat looks dry and uninteresting (I hope it's the photo); but there's no sparkle & there's no "eat me now" character to it.
Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS

Score/reasons = 7/The wad of bark on the left side looks burned and the meat doesn't look appetizing. There is no balance of color in the box.

8 - Chunks with a great bark. Appars moist. Nice looking pork box.

Nice full box of well cooked pork. While thinking the bark is a little too overdone, I bet it's full of flavor.

9 - Nice color, full box, looks tasty!

7 - Good Entry. This box has a generous amount of pork pieces that feature both dark bark and juicy meat. The arrangement, while solid, doesn't distinguish the entry from others. Not sure what to suggest to you, perhaps a little more variety in piece selection?
Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score = 7: Pork looks greasy or has way too much sauce on it.

score / reason 6 looks ho-hum nothing about this box pops, i see nothing more than an average box.

Score/Reason = 8 (possibly a 9 in person). The arrangement, color and moistness are very good. This makes me want to sample some. The amount of bark is heavier on the left side of the box.

8 - good amount in the box, however, the bark is very dark. Sauce is not evenly applied.

Score/Reasons = 8, The ratio between the ends and meat looks to be uneven. The ends tend to make the whole box to be over done.

8- The pork looks moist and juicy, nice, thin saucing but too much bark. The bark on the left side of the box presents an uneven appearance.

Score/Reasons = 7, Meat looks good with a light glaze. Bark appears to be a bit too much dark char and overwhelms the box.

Appearance-8- Because I'm looking at a picture, I'm giving it an 8. The darkness of the bark in real life would tell me if the pork was over done or burnt. It looks appetizing in the picture, another reason for an 8. Taste-For burnt bark, and Tenderness-For mushy over done pork will tell the rest of the story for this entry. If this were my entry, I would not turn in any dark bark pieces, so as to not give a rogue judge the reason to give a bad score for burnt bark without tasting it first.

The meat looks dry and the crust looks burnt, 7 or 8.

Score 9 Looks very moist. Hope the bark was good and not a burnt taste.

Score/Reasons = 8, although the box looks okay, it just doesn't woo me into a higher score.

8 - Although I like bark in the pulled sample, there is too much in this box making it look busy. Also pork looks over-cooked. Comments are closed.

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. ;-)
