CBJ & BBQ Chef,

Overall: 6

Reasoning:

If it were a sauce contest it would be a 9. Too much sauce to even see the qualities of the MEAT.

From what can be seen it looks overdone

Chunks in the front not uniform in size, 5 of the 7 look good the 2 in the second row to the right are larger than the other 5.

Sorry could not tell you more.

Score = 8

This meat does look tasty, but...

There is a tad bit too much sauce. The money muscle looks a bit roughed up.

The chunks? I think if the money muscle had turned out better in appearance and the chunks were placed a little more neatly (even though pieces are not all uniform in size) would have made this entry pop.

9 - Looks great to me.

Lew, you can judge the same one twice. What you doing?

And Dan, I'm not sure how anyone could judge on being overdone by looking at it. Appearance first.

I'm not counting off for the sauce; that will probably come to bare in the taste portion. However, yeah, really too much sauce.

I like the color, I like the pieces. The money muscle looks ragged and to me take away from the "come, take a bite" factor.

I suggest about 1/2 that sauce, and perhaps put some meat underneath the larger pulled chunks.

Score 7-8

Way to much sauce what are you hiding and chunks make box look messy.

7 for me. I agree, too much sauce, can't see the meat. I haven't seen this much sauce in a pork entry in a while, that's usually reserved for chicken & ribs, Could have been more uniformly cut, but I wouldn't detract too much for that.

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. ;-)
