looks a+ to me

The chicken and ribs looks great

Pork appearance scores were good.. I am a big fan of the large chunks.. Maybe only way to improve there with that layout was not have only bark showing on those two pieces. Makes the box a bit too dark and not as tasty looking.

Brisket looks good too.. Appears taste was a problem. My only thought on the brisket was that slices might be too heavily sauced. Nice bark though !!

Overall, great showing.. congrats !!!!

Great job! I'm completely new but I've never seen a pork entry quite like that. Have you gotten better scores with that over a more shredded look with some bark?

07-14-2009, 07:21 PM

thanks, guys.

that was the first time i sauced pork and brisket for a comp and that was my best pork finish yet. i'm still new to comps so i'm kind of trying to figure out what to do. i was lucky to make all the turn-ins on time...

Nice job Rick & congrats on the calls - the calls do get addictive - Well at least that is what I have been told.

It was nice being setup next to you again this year - especially when the Boat Eggs came of the BGE. Thanks for the breakfast.

Alexa RnQ · 07-14-2009, 08:42 PM

Very pretty!

Buster Dog BBQ · 07-14-2009, 08:43 PM

Ribs look good but I would guess you took the one on the right from a second rack. Try putting the odd bone on the side by itself next time. Seems to work. Brisket may have been a little too thick. All looks great. Congrats.

Dale P · 07-14-2009, 09:24 PM

Looks great Rick.

ZILLA · 07-14-2009, 09:41 PM

Good work Rick!

The Pickled Pig · 07-14-2009, 09:48 PM

Look's really good Rick and congrats on the Top 10 finish. Try wiping down the edges of your box so judges can't tell you just spritzed the shine on the meat. And black isn't necessarily beautiful on pork and brisket. You picked some really nice pulled pieces for your pork but if you separate them in the box like that they tend to cool down and harden more than if they were bunched together.

Rhapsody · 07-14-2009, 09:55 PM

Looks really good. I would score the chicken and ribs 9s for sure and I don't give those out easy. I would include some shredded pork, but those look awesome too.

Skip · 07-14-2009, 10:11 PM

Very nice.

swamprb · 07-15-2009, 12:15 AM

Nice work Rick! What contest was this?

Bentley · 07-15-2009, 12:24 AM

They are 4 solid 8's could be some 9's in there if it was live! Very intresting pork presentation, I have always perfered chunks to cat food, I will probably be stealing that for our next KCBS contest!
