Ready to step away from the burnt sausages and undercooked chicken? Our BBQ Foundations class is designed specifically for those ready to step up in the world of live-fire cooking. Whether you’ve just bought your first grill, you're assessing a new BBQ, or want to build your confidence, this course provides a supportive atmosphere where you’ll learn the skills needed to get great results.

We strip back the mystery of the grill, focusing on the essential techniques that make for a successful cook every time:

🔥 Fuel & Fire: Choosing the right fuel and mastering lighting techniques.
🔥 The "How-To": Understanding the difference between direct grilling and indirect cooking - and knowing when to use each.
🔥 Control the Heat: Managing temperatures, using thermometers, and using wood chips to add that perfect touch of smoke.
🔥 The Perfect Finish: Identifying exactly when your food is cooked to perfection.

The class will be a mix of demonstration by our BBQ chef, and getting hands-on marinating meats and grilling your lunch!

Sample Menu

Smoked Thai-Spiced Chicken (Low and slow).

Roasted Pork Belly (Perfecting the crackling).

Marinated Lamb Leg Steaks (High-heat direct grilling).
