TEXAS BARBECUE MASTERCLASS
The class for people who are already familiar with indirect cooking or smoking, and who want to take their barbecue to the next level. Relaxed, instructive and fun, with a lot to eat.
In this class, taught by competition-winning barbecue chef Lap-fai Lee, we tackle more technically challenging dishes like brisket, though the prism of Central Texan style of barbecue.

The ingredients are prepared as a group. Different dishes are cooked on different grills then shared round (you’ll see how everything is done).
The barbecues we use for this class are a mixture of Kamado Joe Classic Joe 2 barbecues (similar to the Big Green Egg), vertical smokers and Weber kettle barbecues. Contact us before booking if the barbecue model is important to you; certain barbecues may be limited on the day of the class.
