I see where some folks really dont like much meat in the box, but IMHO they're judging garnish and fancy stuff and not how appetizing the meat is and the presentation of the meat itself.

The meat doesnt look at all in this box, but I think more meat would present it better. The pulled chunks look really good but seem to be lacking some color (color other than the sauce). The money muscle isn't bad, but it's not as good as the pulled pieces.

Overall it is appetizing, but not quite to the point where I just HAVE to eat some.

Score 9. Nothing wrong with this box. Nice amount of sauce, nice balance of meat, and nice mix of color. I would suggest that the cook consider adding one more slice of the money muscle just in case there is a slicing error and it also keeps the table captain happy.

remember I am easy.
I was going to go with an 8 because I dont like to see sauce painted on but if that is how you do it it looks good. I also gave the center slices the benefit of the dark picture and assumed they look at least as moist as the front one which you cant really see that well.

Actually was split between 8 or 9, but I give the tie to the cook every time. Looks very appetizing to me. I'm not crazy about saucing ALL the meat, but it does make it look moist.

I liked the selection of meat, but layout is a bit messy and cuts are not trimmed.

I would suggest trimming the cuts just for presentation purposes only.

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.

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. ;-)
