BBQ 101

A BBQ class designed for beginning BBQ’ers to experienced competition BBQ teams. This is a hands on class where we supply the briskets, butts, chicken and ribs and you cook em on your smoker. Then you will get to present your efforts to certified BBQ judges and have the opportunity to watch and interact with the judging process.

We do cover competition BBQ. We do take a lot of time discussing how to compete in BBQ competitions, our philosophy of how to do BBQ competitions from meat prep to flavor profiles to presentation boxes. At the end of each class, we bring judges in so you can present your offerings, and actually watch the judging process, get feedback from the judges, and ask the judges questions – an invaluable experience that you can not get anywhere else.

Our basic philosophy is to teach you BBQ concepts and techniques so that you can develop your own award winning BBQ flavors and style. We don’t give you all of the secret rubs, processes and secret mayonnaise handshakes that we use in competitions, because we want you to develop your own - for a lifetime of BBQ perfection.
