We're going to be cooking with live fire, just like our ancestors did, and we're going to have a fantastic time doing it! We're going to break down the barriers and myths around charcoal cooking. We'll be setting up the grills for direct and indirect cooking. We'll be lighting charcoal and managing temperatures.

Rob has been cooking on offset smokers (stickburners) since 2007. The popularity of this style of smoker has exploded, so let's talk about them! We'll have 1 or 2 different offsets running during class so we can discuss fire management and strategies.
