At this fun and hands-on cooking class, you will learn all about the art of smoking meat and make and serve a four-course meal with a beer tasting session. The next time a dinner party comes around you'll be sure to impress!
The class will begin with a warm welcome from your chef and host, and you'll relax into the session with a complimentary beer and a snack. Throughout the cooking lesson, you'll pick up some valuable tips and tricks on brining, marinating, rubbing and wood smoking and then get the chance to put them into practice as you prepare and cook smoked salmon, mackerel and Cuban beef.
You'll then enjoy two sample beers and will gain an understanding of the different flavour profiles, and learn how it can be incorporated into cooking.
At the end of the class, you'll indulge in the gourmet four-course meal cooked by you! You will leave this cooking class with confidence and the ability to recreate these mouth-watering dishes at home.
On the menu: 
  • Pulled Chicken Taco with Corn and Avocado Salsa
  • Smoked Bass Strait Beef Short Ribs with Bourbon Porter Glaze
  • Bass Strait Beef Rump with Jalapeno, Rocket and Herb Oil
  • Smoked Potatoes with Garlic, Rosemary and Sour Cream

Recent reviews of Beer and Smoke BBQ Cooking Class

  • 4/5 from Dean Hartwell, attended Jun 2026: We booked a class for 6 mates. The class was well worth it. Gave some really good advice for bbq/smoking, what meats to use and how to best prep them. Great knowledge base from both teachers and both were very happy to answer and provide advice. The food was fantastic and paired well with the beers. Would recommend to those with an interest in smoking/bbqing and looking to do something different as a group.

  • 5/5 from Tara Bedford, attended Nov 2025: This was incredible. Sarah was full of knowledge and Alex slayed his first day. The food was delicious and we took home so many spices, Sarah did a great job giving a back story to every chef who created different spices and I’ll be implemented them into our cooking

  • 5/5 from Maegan Howden, attended Feb 2025: Simeon (supported by Charlie) were great hosts. We learnt a lot about BBQing meat and cooking in general... Many, many helpful hints along the way.

  • 5/5 from Karen Gauld, attended Aug 2024: Really great and engaging session. Came away with a heap of learning and look forward to doing one of the other classes as well.
  • 5/5 from Paul Ruttley, attended Jun 2024: This was a great experience, our tutor was very knowledgeable and provided lots of tips. He has inspired us to explore the art of using smoke in our BBQs when we get back to NZ. Thank you Paul and Anna
  • 5/5 from Theresa McAlister, attended Feb 2024: Great to learn from trained, experienced and friendly chefs with a passion for cooking on smokers!
  • 5/5 from Sean Thurbon, attended Jan 2024: Pam and Simeone were our teachers for the day, they were fantastic. It was very hands on and the food was delicious! The venue ‘Que BBQ’ was perfect, and the shop attached had everything you could possibly want to bbq properly. Highly recommend this course… and of course the beers were great too.
  • 5/5 from Mick Bircanin, attended Nov 2023: An outstanding event, well organised and all staff were helpful and welcoming. the teacher was very well versed in the art of meat prep and included participants in the lessons. I highly recommend the course.
  • 5/5 from Kate Patterson, attended Oct 2023: Got it for Father’s Day present & Absolutely loved it! Great spot, great teacher, great food! Would highly recommend to anyone!
  • 4/5 from Anna Xia, attended Jan 2023: The teacher Luci was very knowledgeable on bbq especially coming from a chef background but the venue was a bit of a squish. The small space could barely fit all of us in and when the bbq was on, it felt like I was being smoked. Irritates the eyes. It was a 38 degree day also which added to the discomfort. Very relieved when they sat us inside the restaurant for lunch. As great as the bbq rump, short ribs, chicken thighs with salsa, avocado and tortillas were, there was barely enough to feed everyone. You get a couple of free beers but I’m not a fan of beer.
  • 3/5 from Liam O'Connor, attended Jan 2023: The class was fine but the address of the place was never listed on any link provided so we were unable to find it so were late.

The BBQ Cooking School

4.8 (568)

BBQ Cooking Classes, Corporate Events & Catering. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Caberra, Perth 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.
