Score 7 - If I were to guess, this is a first time cooker. Not pulled very well and not enough chunks for judges to see how it pulls.

Score = 8

Good looking box but it just doesn't grab your attention....maybe a little more bark showing in the pulled pork?

Score/Reasons = 9, don't see anything wrong with this box. Looks dad-gum good!

Suggestions/Comments = try to de-pile the pulled a bit so it doesn't appear blobbed.

Just looking at the picture without seeing it in person, I would give it a 9. Makes my mouth water.

Score 9. No comments or suggestions on this presentation are necessary. This is just a great looking entry. Nice bark and color mix. Nice box layout. Nice moist looking pork. Great Job.

Score=8

Pulled pork appears pale in the photo

Score/Reasons = 8. This is a very good looking box. The slight yellowing of the styro indicates the white balance on this photo is off a hair, but the color of the evenly sliced money muscle still looks very inviting (it should look better in person). The pile of pulled pork appears moist, but the two pieces with bark throws it out of balance and is the main reason this box is not a 9.

Comment - Some bark within a pile of PP is fine, provided it's placement is balanced.

Score 9
The slices are fairly evenly cut and the pulled looks moist. A simple but effective presentation

Pork box 191 is (8)
Looks very tasty, moist, and a nice contrast of colors. The bark looks great as well

Slices look delish, want one. Varience in widths is noticeable.
Pulled is less impressive, while it could be said it looks moist, my first thought was "slimey". Half the judges would not get to sample your bark. Is that wise?
Very good 8, but above average 7 is in play.

Greg - CBJ/KCBS

Score/Reasons = 9, very nice looking pork slices, juicy and mouth watering good

8 - slices look good. The pulled looks moist but maybe mushy.

9 - This is a good sample, money muscle sliced uniformly and pulled sample looks moist. good presentation.

Comment - Although the sample is a 9, consider putting a little more meat in the box. All that green is a little over-powering.

9 - Nice color, looks moist, neat presentation. I'm hungry!

Jean CMJ

9 love money muscle, looks once, plenary of slices. The pulled pieces, I think I would add more pieces with bark to have more contrast between inside and outside meat. Otherwise very neat box

9.....Money Muscle has a nice bark and color. Evenly sliced. The pulled appears moist.

Cut the ragged piece off the right front slice. Maybe add a little more pulled to help fill the box.

8 Could use more bark

8, money muscle looks real good, the pulled part could use a little more color from say more bark or smoke ring or both.

Rick CBJ/KCBS

Score/Reasons = 9, Nice box of pork! Money muscle looks moist, great color and nicely sliced. Pulled looks clean, moist and great color as well.

Suggestions/Comments = Might increase amount of pulled - not sure there's "ample amount" for six judges. Also add more bark to pulled and balance its display. Great box. Wish I was there!

NAME FIELD ON FORM:

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. ;-)
