Learn From Top Pit Masters!
Our BBQ Cooking Classes are designed to teach an everyday backyard barbecue enthusiast how to execute BBQ at a higher level. We offer classes on handling big, intimidating meats like brisket, and we will teach you how we got 2nd at the World Rib Championships. We often have guest appearances from local Pit Masters, Instagram influencers, world class brands and more. These classes are an in depth way to discover how to use layers of flavour and control your cook so your BBQ is perfect every time.
When you take one of our barbeque cooking classes, be prepared to immerse yourself in all things BBQ. We teach trimming, seasoning, cooking, finishing techniques and much more. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll be competing against us, turn that backyard hobby into BBQ fame and prizes!
Even if you’re taken one of our courses, we teach different techniques and meats at various classes throughout the year. Check back regularly as we add classes and they can sell out quickly. We announce our classes online in our Social Media channels as soon as they come out. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get the latest info.
