Dream BBQ class

Any class that gets me results :razz:. I took the Swamp Boys/3Eyz super school earlier this year and it was worth every penny. So either of those teams are great and I highly recommend. The results we are getting now are much much gooder :becky:.

I took Chris Harts class. Since taking it I've had two contests and two top 10's. Before his class zero top 10's. Was well worth it. If I could take another I'd go to Trigg's just to hear his stories.

Actually, you know, I'd really like to take moocow's UDS class.

I've been to Rod Gray's (from Pellet Envy) class in KC and 3 Eyz and Swamp Boys class in FL, and both were great. My scores improved dramatically after Rod's class.

3 Eyz / Swamp Boys class was this spring and I haven't competed since, but I can tell you in was a great class with very detailed information on methods, time and temp, meat sources and recipes too. Recipes provided by 3 Eyz only, Rub was a little tighter with his, but all in all an excellent experience and well worth it in my honest opinion.

I had zero calls in three comps before swamp boys, 4 calls in my only comp since. . . I'd say i picked up some pointers, granted I was a newbie newbie, but when your lucky enough to finish like that, can't argue the result of the the class. Plus I enjoyed the class.

Yeah it was great that their schedules matched up. Prior to the class we had only ever cracked the top 10 overall twice in about 25 competitions during my first 2 years of competing. We did our first competition in Feb of this year (our 3rd year) and that finish was mediocre at best.

Then we took the class in March and in the the 3 competitions since we were 5th, 3rd, and 10th overall with some good chicken calls in the mix too (along with other calls). We still have a long way to go to keep getting better as practicing what is learned is very important, but both Rub & Dan and Chris have my endorsement.......for what it is worth :loco:.

Dream Class: Myron Mixon's

2nd Choice: Melissa and Pete of Yazoo's Delta Q

We have taken Paul Kirk's, Johhny Trigg's, and Tippy Canoe / Big T'Z "Cornfed Cookin' Class...all were outstanding and helped raise our scores significantly. Our next class will probably be Rod Gray or Myron Mixon unless TrueBud is having one...lol!

I'd love to do the 3 eyz/Swamp Boys class.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback. Although we dont have anything planned or discussed as of yet, ya never know, we just might try to do it again next year......

We had as much fun as our students did, and the weather is soooo much nicer down there that time of year...........

We are having a class in June, if anyone is interested, at the BBQ Guru World HQ's......

Couple question's to ask? Do you want to cook hot and fast or low and slow? Do you want to learn how to cook a whole hog? Do they cook on the same smoker as you? Also does location of the class matter? Do you want a hands on class?

I recently took Cornfed Cooking BBQ Class(Tippy Canoe and Big Tz). I learned many things and many ideas. It was nice 2 different cooks saying how they cooked on 2 different cookers( Though Ryan would also talk about when he used a WSM so I guess 3 cookers) and with some meats 2 different temps. Right now it is too early to tell how I will do longterm but I did recently team up with another person who took the class and we won Grandchampion at the unsanctioned but 100% CBJ's contest Frostbusters that fellow Brethren Smokehouse 72 puts on in Colo, Iowa. We got 1st chicken 2nd ribs 1st pork and 1st brisket and we tried many of the techniques we learned in the class

We went to Myron's class 2 years ago. That was before we had entered our first comp. so, everything we learned was somewhat new. This forum and watching BBQ shows on TV provided a huge background before going to his class. Some of the things we learned, I still cannot replicate here, but that is my problem. We still do use some things in our cooking now.

We went to the Swamp Boys / 3-Eyz super school this year. While we learned a bunch of things from both teams, we are using more tricks/tips from the 3-Eyz team. My biggest problem implementing those is related to not paying attention to details, trying to change schit at the last minute, and just my own anxiety.

All three teams have proven success, I think we all will agree.

But for now, the winningest team around is 3-Eyz guys. They are consistent, very methodical and organized in all their approach. That is not to say other teams are not, but I just think their way of doing things from purchasing meats all the way to turn in (including box building, and presentation; very important!), seems smooth and streamlined.

For me, right now, I would attend a 3-Eyz school again as I lost all our notes from the first day at the super school somewhere in Central Florida........ And I just believe in going with a proven winner.

lakeside. the most dominant team, by far, 'round these parts, last couple years. OR whatever class mike took. :becky:

although, i hear rub does pretty darn well outside these parts.

^^^^
i wrote that wrong, should read "outside these parts of which i am most familiar" regarding rub.

pretty sure he'd do pretty darn OK inside these parts too given the the level of competition within his.

and i'd add, whatever class fatback joe took. :wink:

Rub’s class was excellent! I highly recommend it.
Our next class will probably be Pellet Envy’s or Dana Hills - Big Papa’s County Kitchen.

Rob posted on the Swamp Boys Facebook page Thursday that he is planning another Q school this summer.
