I would give this a box a 7. the meat does not look well laid out and could be more spread out. Color looks good

Score/Reasons = 8. Nice options with cubes, slices and pulled. The pulled looks a tick dry and there is uneven sauce and specs on the leading slice. The cubes present well.

Score 8 The pieces on the left are a funny color. You also can't see the pieces on the right either, but they appear to be shiny and fully cooked. . The pulled looks fine

Another blurry photo, cooks are spending their money on meat and smokers and not cameras, haha. It is really hard to judge fuzzy pictures but will do my best.

Score/Reasons: 7. Meat should be displayed in such a way to showcase the meat. There's plenty or room in the box.

Score/Reasons: 8 - A good looking pork box. The meat looks moist & inviting; the layout is just ok.

Score/Reasons = 7, it is potentially a nice box, but it's laid out like it's missing something. Completely distracts from what's in the box.

I would give this a low 9. I like the overall look, but I think the sliced could have been fanned out a little more to use the space in the box. A little empty on the left.

Score = 8, Pork looks OK. Box might look better by taking a couple of the slices of MM from the side and putting them in the front. The arrangement now just doesn't look quite right to me.

Score/Reason = 8, The meat looks nice and moist but the presentation is odd and was distracting when I first looked at the box.

Score 8. I deducted a point as I do not care for the box layout with the open area in the front corner. When you look at the box your eye is immediately drawn to the empty space and makes one wonder "what has been removed from the box? ". A simple layout correction would improve the cooks score.

9. Looks good, but a suggestion would be to fill the box up with meat if you have box worthy meat available.

8.....Meat looks moist. Even slices. Good color. Nice sauce. Box needs better balance.

Just OK looking, seems out of balance. Is that cubed money muscle? Interesting, bet it's a good bite.

8 - Nice color, but the presentation needs a little rearranging. Too much open space.

9 - Nice presentation, looks moist and not a lot of sauce

Score/Reasons = 8. Money muscle looks moist, great color and nicely sliced. Pieces down the left side could be aligned better. Pulled looks clean, moist and great color as well. The lower left corner of box being empty looks odd.

7= box has a number of issues. meat is placed poorly, kind of one sided. color looks unappealing, too much garnish showing. meat does look moist, though.

Score/Reasons=7 odd looking arrangement of slices, I think more bark showing in the pulled and on the slices would help appearance score. 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. ;-)
