Mastering BBQ Techniques

We dive right into the fundamentals of BBQ technique, from fire control and smoking methods to creating the perfect bark on brisket. You'll learn how to manage temperatures, control airflow, and work with various fuels to get that signature smoky flavour. By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to create that perfect balance of tenderness, juiciness, and flavour. 

The Best Cuts of Meat

Knowing your cuts is key! We’ll guide you through choosing the best cuts for smoking to grilling (yes they are 2 different ways to cook).  You’ll learn what makes each cut unique, why some cuts benefit from a low-and-slow approach, and how to select meat with just the right marbling and quality. 

Types of Fuel: Wood, Charcoal, and More

Just like a car,  the fuel is just as important as the meat. There’s all price points and cuts out there, we go over options and our best practices. We’ll walk you through the different types of wood and charcoal, explaining how each impacts flavour. Learn why hickory adds that robust, smoky flavour, how fruitwoods can bring a touch of sweetness, and how to mix and match fuel types to enhance your meat.

Understanding Your Cooker: Offset Smokers, Kettles, and More

Whether you’ve got an offset smoker, a charcoal kettle, or a pellet grill, we’ll help you master it. A lot of processes will be the same, and we will help you  learn how to work with your equipment to get the best results, plus tips on setup, cleaning, and maintenance to ensure a long life and consistent cooks. Offset smokers, especially, can seem intimidating—but after this, you’ll have the confidence to make it your favourite backyard tool.

Crafting Flavour with Rubs and Sauces

One of the highlights of our BBQ Masterclass is working with rubs and sauces to know which flavour profiles work with each protein. We’ll also show you how to balance heat, sweetness, and smokiness to make every bite unforgettable.
