This is a classic thread!!! What a bunch of crappy boxes! Kind of fun to look back and have a good laugh at yourself. Like Kapn said, we all expected to win it all with these entries.

I only wish I could add several of the boxes I saw as a judge last weekend... some horrendous boxes in ribs and brisket especially!



For this one, we actually got all 9's in appearance, and Ribberfest in 2005... Those judges were blind!








There's more, but I must stop!

Did you consider adding some meat to your sauce?

First brisket box, IBCA contest in Darbonne, La last year. Had to cut off the side cause I used a colored toothpick and turned the meat blue, and it was just a trainwreck of a brisket anyway Should have been DQ'd.

I don't understand why you would be thooth picking brisket? Am I missing something??

cause I was a dumbass who listened to everything everyone said

Someone on some forum said to stick a toothpick in in line with the grain on your brisket to know where to slice. Worked OK other than the fact that the toothpick was blue and stained the meat. I never really had a problem knowing where to slice but I tried something different at a time I shouldn't have been experimenting.

alittle over done

looks a little dry

I think it is hillarious what some of you think bad is...It is better than the stuff I turn in now!

Boy.. I've learned a lot since then !!
is it brisket?

Aside from the rack dropping fiasco , this box was also very lousy in that it was the first time ans only time I cooked thighs in competition.

Even worse when you rely on the 13th place chicken king to do your trimming. We ended up torching the few remaining ones that would not get anyone sick on a Kettle to make up for lost time. Skin shriveled up quickly.

This is a really chitty box... but the good news was that four other boxes placed worse than this one (68th of 72)
and those were the best you had to pick from to make your box?
