Great fun!
Unlike Scottie, whos NEVER had a bad box, I can't say that for the Bellys! :twisted:

Only because I don't have any pictures. No pictures...Never happened...:roll: That's what I keep telling myself at least...

U2CANQUE · Oct 24, 2008

I go with that theory too.......is that not the motto?

U2CANQUE · Oct 24, 2008

But, you are more than welcome to post on the best boxes there Scottie....we promise to not share......:icon_shy

First brisket box, IBCA contest in Darbonne, La last year. Had to cut off the side cause I used a colored toothpick and turned the meat blue:biggrin:, and it was just a trainwreck of a brisket anyway:redface: Should have been DQ'd.

I don't understand why you would be thooth picking brisket? Am I missing something??

cause I was a dumbass who listened to everything everyone said

Someone on some forum said to stick a toothpick in in line with the grain on your brisket to know where to slice. Worked OK other than the fact that the toothpick was blue and stained the meat. I never really had a problem knowing where to slice but I tried something different at a time I shouldn't have been experimenting.

Just curious, why does your avatar say Backwoods Smokers but there are none listed in your signature?

You should see where I live Mista. It ain't LA

:lol: Never been to Lee's house but I'm very familiar with the area - It's only an hour from me... let's just say you big city boys would chit a brick. And they say that Alaska is the last wilderness in the U.S. :wink:

Someone suggested a thread where we post our worst turn-in box ever so I'll get it started. This was my very first turn-in at the American Royal in 2005. Seems I pretty much ignored all the stuff I learned here leading up to that contest. :roll: This is utterly HORRIBLE! I've progressed a small bit since then. :shock:

alittle over done

goodsmokebbq said:
Great thread! OK here we go, first comp...

Ohhh yeahhh :shock:

i dont think you could bite through those

Brew-B-Q said:
I can so dominate this thread. Here are pics from my first competition, where I obviously had no clue. I think everything tasted as bad as it looked.

Looking at what we do now, which still needs work, makes me wonder how drunk I really was that day.

looks a little dry

KC_Bobby said:
Only one?

OK Joes 2007, our first comp - Looks like we tried our hardest to hide it.

2007 Ankeny Ducks Unlimited - 4 slices ... slices of something

2007 American Royal - 411th place!

those did need work

Paola Greg said:
This is a brisket practice box I did in January, 2005,,(after my first 2 contests in the fall of 2004),,,,,,

I remember at the time I thought I had done quite well,,,,,,:shock:

i give it a 5 - being kind

Bentley said:
As I recall, this was so overcooked I was happy just to get 6 pieces in the box! And this was not that long ago.

I think it is hillarious what some of you think bad is...It is better than the stuff I turn in now!

i am sure you have done better

Sledneck said:
From my first comp. The chix box below was my first 13th place chicken

those chix are dead

Scottie said:
I would of thought that brisket box was a pork box...

Thank goodness I use a FE-100. It turns out perfect food every single time... I've never had a bad box... :roll:

sounds like you are saying its the cooker not the cook - lol

Captain Caveman said:
HMMMMM, maybe if I shine it up they won't notice how over cooked it is.....

how did they taste?

TOPS BBQ said:
Here's NOT a first, but a definite no no:

It's farking untrimmed AND upside down!:shock:

i bet it taste good fat and all

Captain Caveman said:
Hands down, the worst ever. Ashamed to post it mod:
Hell, it looks a little like pot roast.....but it's pork.:icon_blush:

how did it score

MilitantSquatter said:
These were my first boxes during a practice run at home under contest timing the week prior to my first contest a few years back. Pics were actually taken approx 15 minutes after each turn in time so we could see what it looked like after it sat a while.

Boy.. I've learned a lot since then !!

is it brisket?

Plowboy said:
I'm sure I have worse, but here goes. From North KC 2007.

looks like it would have scored well on taste

DeanC said:
Finally, a thread where I can compete with the pictures. This is a hot azz mess of a brisket box, I think it was from Butler 2006. I am pretty sure I was trying to bury the brisket in the lettuce.

could be neater

Sledneck said:
And of course lets not forget about fishsticks!

fish sticks my all time favorite

Buster Dog BBQ said:
First brisket turn in.

needs more meat in that box

MilitantSquatter said:
Ask and you shall receive !!!

Aside from the rack dropping fiasco :icon_pissed, this box was also very lousy in that it was the first time ans only time I cooked thighs in competition.

Even worse when you rely on the 13th place chicken king to do your trimming. We ended up torching the few remaining ones that would not get anyone sick on a Kettle to make up for lost time. Skin shriveled up quickly.

This is a really chitty box... but the good news was that four other boxes placed worse than this one (68th of 72) :biggrin:

and those were the best you had to pick from to make your box?

BBQchef33 said:
nuff said .... yuk..

but it was our first contest and it took 5th. The parsley in the middle covered a huge hole in the brisket.

looks like something i would like to eat - bet it taste good

CajunSmoker said:
I love this, cause I can make some ugly boxes:icon_blush:

First brisket box, IBCA contest in Darbonne, La last year. Had to cut off the side cause I used a colored toothpick and turned the meat blue:biggrin:, and it was just a trainwreck of a brisket anyway:redface: Should have been DQ'd.

and here's an ugly pork box from Memphis this year. Looked good to me at the time

why the foil in the box?

big brother smoke said:
Here is a pic of my rib box at my first comp last year (IBCA)

ribs look dry

The Pickled Pig said:
Thankfully, we didn't take pics of our entries for the first 4 years else these wouldn't qualify as our worst. :shock:

what did you put on your brisket that turned it red like that?

what part of the chicken was that and how did you get the pork red like that

cmcadams said:
I only wish I could add several of the boxes I saw as a judge last weekend... some horrendous boxes in ribs and brisket especially!

For this one, we actually got all 9's in appearance, and Ribberfest in 2005... Those judges were blind!

There's more, but I must stop!

did you cover that chicken in chocolate

Just, so you know. You CAN post in another thread, jeezus, I thought Sled can be a post whore, but you have the last page of posts.

Sled, just kiddin, I love the fact that I can check a thread 4 times a day and see 4 new avatars. It keeps it fresh.

Holy hell, the title is your WORST box!! WTFark do you expect to see? Hammerin' a little hard on people you hardly know yet, don't you think? Sheesh!

swamprb · Oct 31, 2008

These are my first boxes from Sept. 07 Evergreen State Championship BBQ, Seattle WA.

pork box turned pic turned out blurry, so it has to qualify as my worst. The brisket was drier than a fish fart rolled in sand. I didn't finish last or make the second page of the results, 28th of 36 teams.

Alexa RnQ · Oct 31, 2008

I didn't even remember where to look for box pix from our first comp, and when I saw this one I was literally laughing out loud so hard I choked!!! It is Sofa King BAD!!!!!

Solidkick · Nov 3, 2008

Now here's how to come in last out of 63 teams!
We were still learning.....hell, we thought this looked good.....then.......:shock:
My, we've come a long ways!

Kick, that top one reminds me of an overhead shot (layout) of a golf course.

Lots of doglegs and looks like it's hell to get out of that USGA Open kind of rough. :-D

You know, you're right!:biggrin: I wonder if Nicklaus would be interested in the design for one of his new courses....
