Most people learn BBQ by trial and error. This class skips the error part.

The JDQ Chicken and Ribs BBQ Cooking Class brings two experienced competition pitmasters — Josh DeWitt and Jeremy Williams — together for a hands-on, three-hour deep dive into what it actually takes to cook St. Louis-style ribs and KCBS-style chicken thighs the right way. Whether you're curious about competition BBQ or just want to stop guessing on cook days, this is the class that closes the gap.

Josh and Jeremy walk you through everything from meat selection and rub application to fuel choice, smoker behavior, and finishing your proteins with the kind of tenderness and bark that makes people ask for your secret. You'll sample the finished product — because understanding flavor and texture is just as important as understanding the process. Pair what you learn here with the right rubs and sauces and you'll be dialed in from prep to plate.

This isn't a passive demo. You get real answers, real technique, and one-on-one access to both instructors after class ends — because good learning doesn't stop when the smoker shuts down.
