Texas BBQ is famous far beyond the state. To kick off the season, we’re hosting an exclusive, invitation-only BBQ cooking class.

Professional pitmaster Michael Heckman will share his tips and tricks for smoking the perfect BBQ feast while you sample brisket, ribs, and sausage, drink locally brewed beer, and take notes! After completing this 3-hour cooking class, you’ll wow your friends and family with your BBQ expertise at your next backyard get-together.

This invitation-only, interactive event will also show you how to successfully harness real-time data for a competitive edge.
