What’s the difference between a Pitmaster360 class and any of your “U” classes like BrisketU or RibsU?

Pitmaster360 is a class focusing more on general backyard smoking and cooking fundamentals, and less on specific proteins. Whereas our “University” classes (BrisketU, RibsU, ChickensU, etc.) are deep dives into perfecting particular protein categories, Pitmaster360 spends more time discussing topics such as fire and temp management, grill setup, and techniques like injection.

What if it’s bad weather?

Classes happen rain or shine (and sometimes even snow).  If it rains, you may wish to bring an umbrella to get from the brewery out to our canopy tents.  If it’s a major storm that demands we postpone, we will notify you prior to class.…

How large are your classes?

Unlike other BBQ classes that allow as many as 100 (or more) in a class, we intentionally cap our class size at around 28 students.  In our experiences operating dozens of classes per week around the US, this smaller class size allows attendees to see everything, get to meet classmates, and ask specific questions of our team that relate to…
