BBQ 101 Class

On Saturday February 7th, Jeff Fellers from Light My Fire BBQ and myself held our second BBQ 101 class in Murfreesboro. I have to say, each time we do one of these we get better and better. I guess it's all the repetition. We had a good class this year who was full of question and thankfully we had an answer although it may not be the perfect one. We took the class outside and showed them different cooking options with a Lang 84 Deluxe, a Big Green Egg, and a Weber Smoky Mountain.

I handled the ribs this time and divulged most of our secrets. I have to leave a few things out right? I showed the class the proper way to trim a full rack of ribs down to a St. Louis cut and Jeff handled the baby back portion of the class. Overall, the ribs came out very tasty and went very quickly. So fast Jeff and Sheila didn't get to try any. I also grilled up some shrimp as an appetizer. Jeff moved onto the brisket and did an excellent job going through the steps in cooking as well as secret tips to help get the particularly hard cut of meat tender.
All in all the class went very smoothly and all who attended felt they walked away with a little better knowledge and I think they might have gotten a little fired up and are probably cooking something outside today. Our next class will probably be in March as we will tackle Chicken and Pork 101.
