What you'll do
Discover the art of meat smoking at this fun, hands-on cooking class! You’ll prepare a four-course meal with beer tasting along the way. Learn the smoking essentials from a qualified smoking master at one of the most interactive meat smoking classes BBQ School offers!
When you arrive, you’ll be treated to a complimentary beer and snack as the chef and host run you through the class schedule. From there, you’ll be taught the craft of wood-smoking, how to create the perfect rubs, salts and marinades, and bringing techniques so you can get the most out of your meat. You’ll then put your own skills to the test as you prepare and cook a four-course meal of smoked meats and delicious accompaniments.
As the meat is cooking, you’ll indulge in two sample beers, where you’ll learn the different flavour profiles, what separates them, and how to utilise them in your cooking journey.
At the conclusion of the session, you and the class will indulge in the four-course meal you’ve prepared.
On the menu:
- Pulled hickory chicken taco with corn and avocado Salsa
- Smoked bass strait beef short ribs with bourbon porter glaze
- Reversed sear bass strait beef rump with chilli salt, rocket and herb oil
- Smoked potatoes with garlic, rosemary and sour cream
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 School endeavours to run all classes scheduled. However, occasionally not enough bookings are made to warrant the class proceeding or a circumstance out of our control dictates that the class will not go ahead. In these rare cases, we will contact you at least 48 hours beforehand to offer to transfer your booking to another class and date.
Please note: With the current changes due to COVID, there is now a minimum spend of $2500 for private groups, which covers 20 participants. Smaller groups can still be accommodated for, just get in touch to arrange pricing.

Your teacher
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.

The whole experience was engaging and enjoyable. We were given loads of free alcohol throught and the instructors were very knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise. We also got very hands on with the preparation which was a nice touch
Pavitra Vobilisetty • Mar 2022
The Chefs were awesome! We get to only be hands-on with the sides and not with the actual meat.

Teacher was great! Super knowledgeable. Food was awesome! Not as hands on as I thought it would be, and you only get 1 drink before they start charging you $8 per drink.
