This is Corey with Fat Boys BBQ. One of the ideas of this format is to allow you to go back and rewatch as many times as you want and as Robby pointed out, if you buy the all access (which is all the meats) you can ask us as many questions as you want. I’ve been answering tons of private messages about tweaking my recipes/techniques to different types of smokers or bridging their technique to mine. I’ve been to a few in person classes and I think the line of communication is more open with the videos so far because it links us online.

Thanks Robby and Cmikes for your input on this subject. You all have definitely given me something to think about. I like the fact that you guys are available by video and by chat so that if we run into issue or questions we can get them resolved.
Are there any plans to keep the videos up to date? If they are updated will we need to purchase another set or would they be included in the price we already paid?

Absolutely no way I'd pay that price for an online, pre-recorded class. For just a little more you could go to an actual class and see it all done right in front of you, answer every question and taste the end product and the tenderness. Which is in the end what matters and an online video cannot provide.

Benefits Both Ways
Quote:
I think the Tell All video classes have added benefits also with being able to watch the processes over and over as much as you want. It's very hard for students at live classes to take the notes they need while at the same time watching everything that's going on. Then every time you can't remember something you have to contact the pitmaster that did the class. It can easily take a couple of days to get that detail communicated, that's where I see online classes having a huge advantage. With the high deff 4K video used in the BBQ Champs Academy classes, you can literally see the desired tenderness of the products. Taste, well that's a different story for sure. If you use exactly what the pitmaster does in the videos you will get that taste in the end to know what he or she desired. I addition one of the great things about BBQ Champs Academy videos is that Mike Steele, the founder of BBQ Champs is right there asking those questions for you. Is it exact, probably not but in advance each of us made up a long list of questions that are asked in live classes and Mike does a great job of asking those at the right times. Thank you for your thoughts and have a great night. Kind regards, Robby Rescue Smokers |

I'll have to agree with being able to re-watch the videos as needed. I took a class in person about 4 years ago and to this day I wish I could see a couple things done again. It's one thing to have something described to you but to see it close up is great.
I think BBQ classes are a little different for everyone, for some - especially beginners it becomes their bible on how they do everything, for experienced cooks it can be a new twist on something they already do or a recipe they never imagined would/could work. Quite often people will combine what they learned to what they already know and do.. which is probably the best takeaway IMO. |

Interesting idea. Bit pricey though for an online class.
Although to be able to access the info at home is nice. Plus no travel expenses. Plus no dragging my wife with me to help get notes. She would be happy. If anyone tries these classes out let us know what you think. I wish some classes would have either copies of notes already printed out to go along with it or a book or a website you get access too. |

The biggest issue in my opinion that I am having is achieving the correct tenderness. When I nail the tenderness I have gotten a call. The problem is that hitting the correct tenderness seems to be hit or miss with the majority of the time being a miss.

I know what you mean.. for me to nail my tenderness, I have to be really consistent in maintaining certain temps and timing. One of these is missing you can end up being too under or over.. fortunately here is TX where IBCA is most dominant it's better to be a little over than under. Judges use a plastic fork and knife to sample. I've found myself adding time to my timelines this past year.. it hasn't hurt me any |

The videos I would think would put you at least in the ball park and few a tweaks I would think that eventually I could nail it or get closer. Plus I do have an advantage in that I live in Ga. and have competed again Robby. Maybe just maybe he would be nice enough to help me out in person as well.
