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.

The BBQ Cooking School

4.8 (543)

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.
