I was browsing on the web earlier and found these BBQ classes from BBQ Institute<\/a>, so I thought I would see what else I could find.\u00a0 Here's the roundup:<\/p>\n

BBQ Institute<\/a><\/h3>\n

Here's a link to their calendar, which appears to have classes in Washington and Texas.\u00a0 They have classes on basic grilling, basic BBQ, advanced BBQ, competition BBQ, Dutch oven and you can even get custom classes.\u00a0 Prices range from $199 to $500 (at the time I lasted checked).<\/p>\n

Slap yo Daddy <\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Slap<\/a>This BBQ class is in Diamond Bar, CA, covers BBQ 101, but says that it will have you cooking like a BBQ champion.\u00a0 The cost is $299, which includes everything, include meat, sauces, rubs, marinades, an apron, and other supplies.\u00a0 Plus you get to take home all the extra meat.\u00a0 It looks like 2011 dates are going fast.<\/p>\n

Kansas City Barbecue Society<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Kansas<\/a>This is the grand-daddy and one of the most prestigious of all the bbq competitions.\u00a0 It also provides the organization for sanctioning events around the country.\u00a0\u00a0 They offer classes in judging as well as cooking.\u00a0 The cooking calendar currently points to Feb 2011, but just change it to the current month and year at the top of the calendar and you'll find a variety of classes.\u00a0 They seem to focus in the midwest (no surprise) but I found them all around the country.\u00a0 It looks like you have to click on the links for the individual classes to find more specific information like when, where, and price.\u00a0 The few that I clicked on had a wide variety of classes and costs.\u00a0 I'd bet that you could find something of interest and in your price range here.<\/p>\n

These are only a a few--If you are interested in some hand-on class time in the art of BBQ or grilling, I'll bet you can find something close by.\u00a0 Or attending a class might make a great vacation.<\/p>\n

If you have been to a outdoor cooking class of any kind, let me know in the comments below.\u00a0 Or if you can't find one, let me know and I'll see what I can find.<\/p>\n
