Your WORST Box Ever! (What Not to Turn in!)

ok... here goes nuthin' . . .
I finally found pics from our first EVER grilling and BBQ event ...

And, if I remember right, we didn't even use salt or pepper on those grilling categories, nevermind a marinade or anything! CLASSIC! :oops:

We were (and still are) so proud of that rib trophy!

I LOVE THIS THREAD!

Michelle this thread is what NOT to do. Those look like what you SHOULD do:tongue:
 
Here is my very first contest turn-ins from Shannon, Illinois in '02.. Took a few years off and started competing again in '05. Besides chicken and some on the ribs, it looks like I was void of sauce... I remember how excited I was to have all those chunks of pork, with a bed of pulled pork underneath it... Looks like I did the Hollywood cut on my ribs too...

Scores were 29th overall. 27th for Chix, 15th for ribs, 17th for pork, 42nd for brisket and 20th for sausage.... I guess not bad for a contest like Shannon. I must of been paying attention to all the pictures I had seen... :mrgreen::mrgreen:

I don't think I understood that whole part of a pull test... I think I took that literally...

We would like to before AFTER pics such as within the last year or so just to see how much it has improved :wink:
 
I don't take pictures anymore... Not sure when I found all that spare time in the past to take pictures. Now as soon as I am done, I am closing the lid and getting it into my holding container for it to get turned in.

So as much as I would love to, I can't.

but I will say... If I had pictures, I would show them. Why not? No great secrets in box presentation. I just make it look like they want to eat it...
 
While there are some pretty bad boxes here, none of you can compete with the real worst box ever (sorry, I was judging & table captaining, so no pics.)

This was in Durango, CO. I believe it was their second year. They had planned a backyard, but only one entry, so the organizer talked the guy into entering the sanctioned competition, no extra charge, the other teams will help you. Very small contest, maybe 15 competitors.

So, chicken comes in, I open a box, and there is one leaf of iceberg lettuce in the bottom, with 6 naked chunks of chicken on it, about the size of the chunks in Campbell's chicken noodle soup. When we stopped laughing, I think we all gave 5's or 6's for appearance, just out of sympathy. I can't remember how it tasted, but the visual will never go away.
 
No DQ. They probably guessed from the entry we had no idea what the heck we were doing.:sad:

This was our very first pork box. My wife thought it would be funny to make a face out of the pulled pork. :grin:

DAL ribs (technically 39th out of 39)! :eek::roll::eek:

When trying to determine which rack to submit, our "official" taster actually uttered the phrase, "You can't really taste the burnt on this rack". Keep in mind, we had 6 racks to choose from. :eusa_clap:eek:

notice the "burnt" ribs below. they all turned out like that. not our best day to say the least. :-D

RCS - Other than looking like you baked it in the oven, what's the matter with this box?
