A BBQ class designed for beginning BBQ’ers to experienced competition BBQ teams. This is a hands on class where we supply the briskets, butts, chicken and ribs and you cook em on your smoker. Then you will get to present your efforts to certified BBQ judges and have the opportunity to watch and interact with the judging process.​
We do cover competition BBQ. We do take a lot of time discussing how to compete in BBQ competitions, our philosophy of how to do BBQ competitions from meat prep to flavor profiles to presentation boxes. At the end of each class, we bring judges in so you can present your offerings, and actually watch the judging process, get feedback from the judges, and ask the judges questions – an invaluable experience that you can not get anywhere else.​
Our basic philosophy is to teach you BBQ concepts and techniques so that you can develop your own award winning BBQ flavors and style. We don’t give you all of the secret rubs, processes and secret mayonnaise handshakes that we use in competitions, because we want you to develop your own - for a lifetime of BBQ perfection.​
 
Great Class. Attended the one in Denver this past winter. Highly recommend. :thumb:
 
I helped judge the class that Kelly put on in Jesup, Iowa last year. If he ever does another one that I can get into I'll be there! Judges give their scores to the contestants face to face. The judges (all CBJs at Jesup) had to justify their scores and answer any questions that the cooks asked - it was great!
 
Kelly puts on a great class. He is a super nice guy, and can COOK!

I have taken his class, and have judged for 3 of his other classes. It is a good interactive experience, when I judge I make notes of my thoughts for each entry and can pass that on to the cooks/students. It gives the cooks some instant feedback and allows them to ask questions about some of the judging procedures.
