is one Smokin' Farker
I normally do not post pictures of my turn ins but based on some of the comments on a previous thread, I thought I would take a shot at being embarrassed and/or sorry. :crazy:
The first picture had appearance scores of 7's, 8',s and a few 9's from a mixed bag of judges with very few CBJ's, mostly freshly recruited and given a 1 hour class. It did take first against some good competition.
The second picture is of a turn in that took first among a very strong pork field and it was all CBJ's with some masters. A couple of judges gave 8's hence the 179.4286 final score for the box (missed 180 by an 1 in appearance score).
After looking at the pictures, I see two areas, chunks of meat without bark, on the perimeter that were distracting.
I'm using this as a learning experience for myself as well as other cooks that might need a little more help on what judges are looking for.
I'm old enough that criticism will not hurt my feelings, just give honest constructive feedback please.
