Would you like to see a "Smokin with Smokin' " class in 2014?

Feel free to reply if there are any specific subjects you want to cover. Like the smokers, Repair, basics, whatever. Comments are welcome so we could make this a great class for what YOU might want.

I pulled the yes switch but you know what happened the last time we tried to get together

Would depend a lot on timing.

I would pay to attend a webinar! I voted yes anyways.

I would also pay to attend a webinar. It is just not practical for me to travel any distance.

Ahhhhh but gentlemen....hands on preparation and TASTING are key elements. Besides, maybe Russ will hold a graduation ceremony out on his deck; granted it's a bit of a hike from Ponca City

As for subjects...
Perfect bite thru chicken thighs (without meat glue)

Burnt Ends
And of course, your renditions of brisket, S.L.S's and Pork Butt.

Did I mention Burnt Ends?

I just don't understand why anyone would use meat glue, I know, some cooks think that skin needs scraped of fat....what did they teach you about fat at culinary school Chris?

Sorry for the thread jack Smokin'.

It is a long ways to go, so cost would be a big factor as is time of the year. I would love for someone to teach me how to work on my FEC, as if I needed a repair during a comp.

Don't know if anyone would entertain this or not, but I really like the webinar idea and would pay to attend, maybe a "poll" on webinar would be in order? just my $.02 worth... $100 not unreasonable for a 2 to 4 hour session I would think, especially considering a Q&A session at the end.

Don't know I'd travel to Ponca City, but I would pay to attend that Webinar.

Agree with Pag. Won't have the time in 2014.

Is it fair to assume this class would be taught from an FEC / Pellet Cooker perspective?

I would pay for a webinar as well

Yup! I would travel to Ponca for a class. BRISKET! I need tips on this cut of meat. But most any topic would work for me.

Good question. Why would you say that? They already have a class that does that.

My thoughts would be discuss the CS products (since they would be hosting), to include the electrics, but the intent of the class is to talk/learn BBQ and I'm pretty agnostic about that. It would be an all day class just to talk about the Electrics. I would prefer it to be wide ranging, more of an "open" BBQ class. I've pretty much cooked on everything out there.

This isn't a given, I'm just asking for opinions. Given I've taught over 400 students at the local Vo-Tech, I've got plenty of hands on BBQ teaching experience. My classes included BBQ 101, Poultry 101, Prime Rib 101, Ribs 101, Brisket 101 and a few others.

Each of those was 3 hours. The problem is going to be to keep it within whatever allotted time, to include Q&A.

Thank you for the reply Smokin.

If the class would be taught from the (electric) Cookshack perspective, include me in the list of those that would be interested in a webinar as well.

I'm close to Ponca. I would be in, depending on dates.

I would be interested in a webinar.

Weather made me miss competition class earlier this month, count me in to try to make this class if offered

I think that would be a fantastic ideal and would want to attend, I am in OKC so its not that far. Would like to see basics like brisket, pork butt, and chicken. Would also love to learn to make jerky in my Cookshack.

I'd sure be in for a Ponca City class if scheduling works out.

I'd be in, depending on the date. I haven't been on a vacation in quite a while. Drive on down, then keep on going down to Lockhart TX, visit some friends in Austin, stop and get some sausage in Elgin. Maybe stop in R-Kanas and visit my brother on the way back. And if I do that, Memphis is on the way home. Hell... I'm in, I just talked myself into it. Let me know what days I have to request off from work.
