I am a KCBS bbq judge.

7 or a generous 8. *From the picture*, it looks a bit dry. Not much color in the meat. I like to see a deeper pork color. Way too much greenery. Make the meat the focus.

Nice but everything is in one pile, I would suggest that you put the chopped/pulled separate from the chunks.

7 is about right.

Looks a bit lite on the portion, could be more full. I like slices and pulled myself. Good though.

KCBS certified.... 20 events. To me I like to see something besides a pile of pulled pork. But if this is the way you present your pork, you're submission looks good and clean.

Not bad but not great either. So much more you could do with this one to increase the score. What's there does look good.

Dry looking. Think a light saucing would help out.

I'd give it a 7. From the picture there looks to be too much garnish that draws away from the meat, but that may just be the angle. I disagree with the other comments that this entry needs sauce. If the flavor can stand on the rub and smoke then sauce isn't needed in my opinion.

Plain ole semi dry looking pulled pork.

You need to show some sauce and some shine in there somewhere.
It would score much better with a couple other cuts, maybe some sliced money muscle, or some chunks.

Nothing bad, but nothing nice. Meet looks good, but is simply put in a pull over a pile of garnish.

I give it a 7

Not enough meat in the box and what's there does have a dry appearance.

Score = 7
Reasons = Appears a bit dry and looks jumbled like it was just dumped in
Suggestions = Either spritz the pork or lightly sauce it to make it look moist; separate the pulled strands from the chunks with bark so that there is more than one "type" of pork in the box; either add more pork or spread out the existing pork to make it look like more

I agree with Kendal that the pork might be moist and flavorful without sauce, but it looks dry.

pork appears a bit dry. the stringy parts take away from the appeal. too much green, not enough pork.

Score 7. Box need more meat and less garnish. Some additional color or glaze would also help this box. Some more of the burnt ends would add to the color and appeal.

KBCS certified judge.
7-8
Good looking bark, appetizing look to meat, nice color
Too much garnish as compared to meat quantity, needs more balance to emphasize meat
Meat could be arranged in a more uniformed manner, looks lopp-sided in box (picky point)
Overall nice looking box just not a 9 in my opinion.

    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. ;-)
