We have always finished in the top 10 in competition for our meats except for Chicken. We always do thighs. Marinaded shortly, then smoked. Move them to the grill to finish with a light glaze of sauce. Any advice?

what type of:
pit-cooking on a Lang 84
charcoal / wood(s)- cooking with oak and pecan
marinade, rub, sauce- marinading with italian dressing/basted with homemade sauce(slighty sweet,slightly tangy). No rub
temp cooked at- 225-250
how are you presenting them in box-
etc.
Getting good scores for tenderness, presentation is all across the board, and that never tends to be agreed upon with judging. This weekend we had an average score of 8 for presentation, low of 6.5 and high of 9.0. Why is this?

No we aren't. I plan on it next time to try it out with the judges. When I marinade, there is plenty of flavor. I'm wondering if the judges maybe want to be overpowered by flavor instead of it being subtle.

Kind of like the sauce thing, they say they want to taste the flavor of the meat. BULL$HIT. They want flavorful stuff, the best I have ever done is when I bit into my meat and said oh $hit this is salty and I LOVE SALT.

somebody shut me the fark up.
There lies your problem....
Judges want a flavor explosion, not what you think is good, but what THEY think is good!
