Has anyone taken the BBQ 101 class at Rubs Backyard Smokehouse in Chicago, put on be Scottie Johnson? My mom bought me a seat to the class for my birthday and I go August 17th, just wondering how the class is.

Where did you see that Scottie is teaching it? the website shows Jared Leonard.

Just what a guy told me, apparently he was wrong. Doesn't matter to me just wondered if it was a good class or not.

I don't know anyone who has taken the class, so I really can't help. I did confirm with Scottie that he is not the instructor.

I know Jared and he is a good cook. I've never seen him teach so i can't comment on that, but I am sure that you will learn a lot from him.

I have taken the class and really enjoyed it. Jared has built a nice little operation there and teaches quite a few classes a week so really has it down. Goes over background on him and bbq, basics, then gets into the cooking. Demonstrates how to cook brisket, pulled pork, ribs, truffle mac n cheese, cornbread, and I thought there was something else, but I cant remember. A really nice way to spend 3 hours and you eat good.

Thanks for the insight, I figured it was a good class, I already smoke meat every weekend and sometimes a day or two during the week just trying to improve, I am sure to pick up on some techniques and tricks from a pro. Like you said we get to eat good at the end. I like that the class is taught in the pit room so it is a hands on class not just sitting there listening to someone babble.

If anyone gets the chance to Take Jared's class at Rub Backyard BBQ Smokehouse DO IT, it was great class, very entertaining and I even learned a few things,Jared is a great host and a very personable person. HE really has no secrets,k you want to know anything about what is in his recipe's or his techniques he will tell you. He is i nit to spread the love of BBQ. Great stand up guy, and he is a BRethen

Sounds like a worthy road trip. Here comes a Canadian Invasion in Chi-town.
