I participated in the 6 hour 101 introductory class a little over a week ago and was not disappointed. So much information was presented that it would be an unusual person who would be capable of remembering even half of what was communicated, but perhaps most important was the message to use your imagination while following some basic guidelines about temperature and seasonings. Lots of valuable information was given covering many different aspects of grilling and smoking. So much food was prepared that I could not keep track of which food was prepared on which grill. I only use charcoal to smoke and grill and would have preferred if only charcoal grills/smokers would have been used, but those who use gas or pellets would have come away with lots of useful information also. Stu kept the class moving . . . you definitely will not get bored! I have been using my BGE and Weber Kettle for many years, and am excited about applying new ideas and techniques learned from this class.
