What you'll do

In this fun and hands on cooking class you'll get to combine your love of American style smoking with barbecuing!

You'll learn all about barbecue techniques from the four main barbecue regions in the United States including Texas, Memphis, Carolina and Kansas, and the differences between them. The class will kick off with a complimentary beer and the Chef will give you a quick run through of the session and the menu.

In the smoking class, there will be meat that has been pre-smoked and cooked so you can taste and discuss the end product. You and the Chef will also prepare fresh meat for smoking to demonstrate and learn the techniques. The chef will cover equipment, the Texas crutch method, troubleshooting and temperatures.

During this class you will be shown tips on rubs, timing, and temperatures and of course the perfect accompaniments, to ensure that you can produce mouth watering, fall off the bone meat every time you have a barbecue.

At the end of the class you'll get to enjoy your delicious barbecued and smoked meats!

On the menu:

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Memphis Style Pulled Pork with Memphis Mop Sauce and Cabbage and Apple Slaw
Texas Style Low and Slow Bass Strait Brisket
Smoked Baby Rack Ribs with Apple Bourbon BBQ Sauce
Smoked Corn with Jalapeno and Lime Butter
Spicy Cinnamon & Chilli Chocolate Brownie

These group cooking classes are perfect if you're looking for fun birthday ideas, unique ideas for a bucks party, and corporate cooking classes.

BBQ Cooking Classes, Corporate Events & Catering. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Hunter Valley.

BBQ School was founded in 2004 by internationally trained chef and passionate foodie Ben Farley who identified that while many Aussies were really into cooking on the BBQ, most only had one or two recipes they knew how to cook really well.

Showing keen BBQ’ers how to prepare and confidently cook a collection of simple, effective and tasty recipes was the best way forward and so in 2004 Ben turned his back on a career in Sydney and London high profile restaurants and founded BBQ School.

In our classes, we assume no knowledge but have found that the more a student knows about BBQ cooking, the more they learn from our experienced chef presenters.

To date around 90,000 people have been taught through the BBQ School.

Our head office is in Willoughby, Sydney but we also operate regular classes in Sydney's Centennial Park, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Hunter Valley and each year the School continues to grow in response to people who wish to cook with more flair when entertaining.

Andrew Brierley • Nov 2021

Great to learn new techniques.
Shane was very funny but knowledgeable. Could do withbar service upstairs.

Janet Munro • Nov 2021

The instructor, Shane, was very engaging and fun. He was quite willing to answer questions, and included students in the prep of the end result. His assistants were completely on the ball and made sure we were comfortable. Some of the smoker grills may be somewhat out of my price range but it was still worth learning the ins and outs of how to use them. I would recommend the class, by all means.

Alex Irvine • Nov 2021

The teacher was fantastic, really engaging, funny and clearly knew his stuff! The food was delicious and we learnt a lot. The only downside was the actual venue; the stools were super uncomfortable especially as we didn't have a table to lean on, and it was difficult to get out of the sun for a portion of the class (we didn't realise it was an outdoor event so had no hat or sunscreen on us). Other than that, really good overall.

best cooking class. nice food and a great, profressional teacher. would want to attend again

Jennifer Suen • Jun 2021

Bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband as he has recently been interested in Smoking meat as a hobby. I went along as a fun event to enjoy together and learn a bit about hubby's hobby. There was not very much hands on experience. Mainly just watching the chef explain the process. Would have liked to be more involved with preparation.

otherwise food was great, left feeling full. wish we could receive the recipes for all the dishes that were made. given the time of day and season, it got dark very quickly so outdoor lighting or heating would be a recommended suggestion.

Otherwise was an enjoyable experience.

Roger McIntosh • May 2021

Teacher was amazing and the food was spectacular.

Very central location with good parking

Highly recommended
