My friend Joe Beland and I are putting on a Competition BBQ class in January. We are setting it up to be an amazing time for all those involved. Please see the formal announcement below and feel free to sign up by clicking on the link to the application. Although I wouldn't take your time deciding as I have a feeling it is going to fill up fast!


Corn Fed Cookin’
with TippyCanoe BBQ and Big T’z Too


The 2011 American Royal Invitational and Inaugural Sam’s Club National Champion Joe Beland of TippyCanoe BBQ Crew and two-time Iowa Team of the Year Champion, RyanNewstrom of Big T’z Q Cru are teaming up to provide a one of a kind learning experience. Two of the hottest new-comers on the BBQ circuit; in just three years of competing they have combined to earn 20 Grand Championships and hundreds ofcategory and overall top 10 awards. Now you get the opportunity to experience and learn the secrets of their success.

This two-day class will include every detail that has helped Joe and Ryan to be successful, including procurement, preparation, cooking, and presentation. Both will provide complete instructions regarding all four of their contest meats, while each will provide hands-on demonstrations of their best two categories—Joe will do pork and ribs, and Ryan will demonstrate chicken and brisket. Whether you are a beginner, a serious backyarder, or seasoned contest veteran, you will be able to see firsthand what each of them does at a contest from start to finish, and help take your BBQ to the next level.

The class will be held in St. Ansgar, Iowa on January 20-21. It will begin Friday afternoon, and following the timeline of a real contest, go well in to the evening. The class will continue early Saturday morning and continue through regular turn-in times and wrap up with any more questions students may have. All meals and refreshments during the class will be provided and are all inclusive. Further details regarding class schedule and area accommodations will be provided with the enrollment packet.
