(No Longer Available) Brisket Broken Down - Lessons from BBQ Champ Chef Richard McPeake

May is the unofficial start of grilling season (it’s also National BBQ Month!) so let the SmokeFest begin… and for tonight’s class, let it be all about brisket!

Join competition champion and accomplished chef, Richard McPeake (a/k/a Educator of ‘Que) as he shares his 35 years+ of extensive experience as a BBQ Pitmaster in this very special power-packed class that’s part of our Midwest Barbeque Institute™ program.

You may think you know all there is to know about brisket OR you may not know a darn thing, but in either case, we GUARANTEE this class will take you to a new high (Hey! Even though we will be ‘smoking’, we aren’t talking about THAT kinda high!)

He’ll cover all the basics and all the tricks, smoker types, fuels, wood, matching wood to beef, time, temp, developing a 'smoke ring' and 'bark', how and when to apply a rub, how to use injections, trimming, muscle identification, how to make 'burnt ends', sauces, etc.

Folks, this is the quintessential class on brisket smoking. Prepare to take notes!
