Details/Disclaimer:

Contract is required with a non refundable down payment of $100. Payment in full is required two weeks prior to your class. If you have to reschedule we cannot guarantee availability. Classes are kept small to give one on one attention to you and your guest, you can inquire about bringing a larger party. Please note that no two chefs or bbq gurus grill alike. Our BBQ will not taste like 100 other BBQ's that you taste. That's the joy of learning new techniques and meeting different bbq gurus.  Classes happen rain or shine.  You are allowed to bring your own camera but no videos please.   We can provide you with a list of accommodations around our facility and a list of things to do for the day after your classes are done.
