There will be a meet and greet dinner on Friday at night, and the class starts at 9:00 am on Saturday, with Whole Hog. We'll then move on to beef and pork ribs, chicken, beef brisket, pork butts and whole pork shoulder.</font></p> <p class="content" style=""><font style="font-size: 19px;">The class will end on Sunday, at 3:00 pm. My school is for the novice, the enthusiast, and the trained chef, as well as for the BBQ competitor. The recipes are the same. The difference is who you'll be feeding.</font></p> <p class="content" style=""><font style="font-size: 19px;">Whether you're serving BBQ judges, customers, or just friends and family, you'll elevate your BBQ game at my class. So, come over to my house and let's cook a little Q! See you there!</font></p> <p class="content" style=""><font style="font-size: 19px;">~Myron</font></p> https://fba39.wildapricot.org/event-6594121 https://fba39.wildapricot.org/event-6594121 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font>Organizer: <a href="mailto:taylorchamber@fairpoint.net" style="">Dawn Perez</a></font></span><br></font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font>Contest Website:&nbsp;<a href="http://smokininthepinesbbq.com" target="_blank">http://smokininthepinesbbq.com</a></font></span><br></font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font>Lead Rep: <a href="mailto:eshemanski.fba@gmail.com" target="_blank">Ed Shemanski</a>,&nbsp;
