here are my boxes from yesterday. I need some thoughts on them, they scored all over the place. also the pictures are not the best.

Little more meat and a lot less leaf is my initial thought. :wink: I believe in filling the fark outta that box! I try for 7-8 inch wide slices of brisket as an example. Then I put in no less than 8 slices. I am a believer that judges love to see full boxes. I think it comes from the full plate/lots of food fixation we Americans have.

Dace, you mentioned your brisket slices were almost 1 inch thick... I think therein lies your problem on tenderness scores. They should be right around the thickness of a #2 pencil. Anything cut thicker and the judges (especially CBJ's) can and will assume that it is overcooked and that you HAD to slice it thick to keep the slices from falling apart on you, hence, low tenderness scores. One thing I failed to keep in mind when I got started last year was that tenderness is not just "not tough"... it's also "not mush or fall apart". It's one of those "just right" things (if that makes sense). Now if you DO overcook it, by all means, slice it thick or chop it and present it that way. You might luck out and get some non-CBJ's who score it to their preference. But if you do a great job and nail it, keep it at around 1/4 inch thick. :wink:
