Boxes without greens?
Hey All,
I don't compete yet (maybe in a few years when the kids get older), but I try to keep an eye on this group so I'll be ready if and when I decide to do it. So what's with the greens in the boxes? I know it's optional, and I know that's not supposed to affect the judging. Why don't more people turn meat in without any greens? Have lots tried? Are there other options besides spending an hour on a turn-in box and turning it in completely bare? Just wondering what the current thinking is on this. Thanks, Bret

Appearance is a scoring category. I don't think I have ever heard anyone say they score as good without garnish as with. Personally, I find it a tad ridiculous, but such are BBQ contests.

What are the rules as far as what you 'could' put in there with the meat? I mean, for example, could you put broccolli or green beans or peas in there? Not that I would, but...

I can see why a lot of teams hate doing garnish, but for us BBQ is a hobby that we can do as a family (most of the time we even bring our 4 year old and 1 year old boys.) My wife and I compete as a team. Turn in boxes are her part of the competition. Get your wife involved, and make the garnish her job. Competitions are expensive, and I can't IMAGINE trying to justify $750-$1500 per month for a hobby that they were not a part of. IMHO of course

I've seen boxes go in without garnish, I'm too afraid to try it myself.
