I was just looking at all four KCBS catagories on www.BBQcritic.com I do appreciate the people the view the entries and score the box. I can't help but think WTH when looking at a lot of the entries. How the heck is burnt, blotchy, over sauced a 9? Big deal, the cook managed to get 8 thighs in a box! The nicely glazed, lightly sauced, perfectly presented box gets a 6 or 7 at best? When I see six perfectly cooked pieces of meat that looks appetizing, it gets a score of 9. If something is questionable, I usually up score to the cook thinking that the meat was much better 1/2 hour ago. I thought we (completion cooks and judges) were professionals? When I see or taste a 5, the entry gets a 5, maybe even a 4! I really don't care how much money the cook spent, we all spend a ton of money going to contests! Maybe I am a hard a$$ because I got my share of 5's and 6's. I have studied my hobby and worked hard to improve (the score history show that). I am by no means an expert on topic but seeing all these pictures of burn meat, paint brush lines, sauce or spray marks on the box, careless placement of the entry in the box, it just gets my craw! I guess the wiskey is making me grouchy tonight......rant over
