Proper Techniques of Smoking

Join us for the newest addition to our Midwest Barbeque Institute™ line-up.  If you want to learn the basics of smoking, this class is the best there is!

Let the Smoke Fest begin as you join competition champion and accomplished chef, Richard McPeake (a/k/a Educator of “Que”), as he shares his extensive experience.  Whether you think you’re pretty good or you don’t know a thing, this class is GUARANTEED to take you to a level as chef covers all the basics of backyard smoking.

You’ll learn the secrets to perfect BBQ: use of a smoker and how they work; various fuels; types of wood; matching wood with foods; time and temperature; proper techniques of smoking; developing “smoke ring” and “bark,” how and when to apply a rub; when, why and how to use a mop; making a dry rub; the four “flavor” stages; sauce tasting.  All this and more in a power-packed 2 ½ hour class.
