A staple in our Midwest Barbecue Institute™ line-up, 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 in this very special power-packed 4-hour class.

It covers all the basics of backyard smoking so 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; product identification; meat selection; trimming ribs, pork and briskets; 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 testing; proper pork shredding techniques; what to look for in BBQ from start to finish; and discussions of BBQ regions.

You’ll learn step-by-step some incredible recipes that you can recreate at home with confidence: Smoked Crimini Mushrooms with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Gorgonzola, Award-Winning RibStars® Baby Back Ribs, Rub Me Tender® Prepping & Trimming Brisket & Burnt Ends, Trimming Secrets Pulled Pork, and BBQ Spiced Smoked Italian Sausage.
