Putting on a great BBQ party can seem like a daunting task if you've never done it.   If you want to learn the ropes,  we think the best way is to work shoulder-to-shoulder with us pro’s as we help you and your teammates prepare for your own party.  In the process, we will also teach you the details how to plan and conduct your own BBQ events – for family, organizations,  or your favorite charity.

Bring a second set of clothes for the party at the end of the day because you and your teammates will be getting smokey learning and cooking on many different types and sizes of smokers throughout  the day – including a cinder-block pit for cooking a whole hog.
