What do you need to bring to our BBQ classes? We will provide everything you need for class so there’s nothing you need to bring, but a big appetite! And you will certainly not be watching during our BBQ classes! You will be the one doing all of the grilling & smoking all by yourself. Once you complete our barbecue course, you will have gained the confidence you need to barbecue like a pro.
Reservation Deadlines: Please make your reservation AT LEAST one week prior to the class date at the latest.

Private BBQ lessons are available as well! Feel free to contact us today for your private BBQ lesson.

About Your Instructor: Pitmaster – Chef Steve
With more than 20 years of experience in food & hospitality industry as well as catering the best BBQ around, I have decided it’s time to pass on my knowledge.
I am proud to put my years of grilling and barbecuing experience to good use: “I love sharing the knowledge I’ve gathered and seeing people gain confidence in barbecuing. The pleasure they get from their own abilities, tasting food they’ve cooked and the fact that it tastes great, and knowing that they can do it again because they have the techniques and they can be creative with that, not just following a recipe.”
What I knew was that our BBQ Like A Pro BBQ courses had to be structured and specific. I didn’t want to create a course that just gave a few recipes. I really want people to learn everything they can including the “how and why”. Thus, the reason I wanted to do these BBQ classes for Portland Metropolitan area. We’re 100% sure that our BBQ classes are perfect for you so don’t hesitate, BOOK NOW!
