BBQ School

We see them advertise a lot.

Nobody seems to have heard of any of the cooks,or anyboby that has ever been involved with them.

I have just enrolled in the Culinary Institute of smoke cooking and learned about it in the BullSheet of KSBS newsletter. I have taken the first lesson and it is a home correspondent course and is designed to go from the very beginning to the more sophisticated cooking in 8 lessons. I have learned alto so far but I am just a beginner.

Good luck with the course. Don't know anyone who's taken it.

Be interested in what you get from that vs what is offered in the forum.

Good luck and Welcome to the forum. Do you own an FE?

Tom Brohamer of BBQ'n Fools here in California (he now lives in Oregon) did that course several years ago. He thought it was worthwhile. If you have a chance, take the Fast Eddy/Cookshack course, I know that one is great.

The book was written by Charlie Knote. Great guy. Wife Ruthie. The book is good.

Charlie was always working on the correspondance course and I think he did have it finished BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. So, any correspondance is with someone other than the guy who wrote the course.

I have a Klose 20X 36 pit with offset firebox.The Culinary Institue of smoke cooking course is very good and not so easy to complete. They start from the very beginning like shopping for meat and meat selection to learning about your fire and the basic to the more complicated. there are 8 lessons that are associated with a written test to see if you have read the chapters in their book- Secrets of smoke cooking. I am on the 2 second lesson and hopeI finish it in the year time that I have to complete it. Hope this helps

thanks for the update Doc, interested in what you think you find out there vs. the forum.

Is this the same DRBBQ that wrote many books?

yup, that's him, although I think its only 1 book.

The next book is in the works,although this is the second printing of the first book.
