Cook shoulder-to-shoulder with championship pitmasters and leave with skills (and leftovers) most backyard cooks never get. We cook hot and fast on Gateway Drum Smokers, fueled by The Good Charcoal Company's premium 100% chemical-free acacia charcoal. Don't worry if you cook low and slow or on a different style of smoker — our recipes and techniques work on any cooker.

Our small class size ensures you get an immersive, in-depth BBQ experience that will accelerate your BBQ to a new level. Whether you want to become a backyard hero, elevate your current game, or learn competition tricks, this class covers it all. Great for guys' nights, date nights, or anyone ready to level up.

In this class we'll teach you to cook:

• Budget Burnt Ends
• Smoked Jalapeño Poppers
• Smoked Pork Belly Nuggets
• BBQ Spicy Sticky Wings
• Brisket Smoked Queso
• Smoked Cream Cheese Dip
• Griddled Smash Burgers
• Griddled Cinnamon Roll Nachos

Featured guest: The Smokin Griddle Bois (Blackstone Griddle Crew) — teaching flattop griddle fundamentals, including turning leftovers into fast, incredible dishes. Yes, dessert on the griddle.
