Just a few more days left before the class this Saturday and Smitty tells me that there are still a few seats available.

This is going to be a day jam-packed with information and we're closing out the session with a live four-meat competition turn in presentation.

This class just might be the thing your team needs to take it to the next level!

Vincent,

Will the making of turn-in boxes be covered? Is that what you mean by "live four-meat competition turn in presentation"? It would seem so. At least that's what I'm hoping as I have no clue how the cookers make such great looking turn-in boxes. It's amazing. So many of the turn-in boxes are magazine photo quality.

What do you suggest the students bring besides a notebook?

Yes, making the boxes will be covered and I don't just mean how to put the garnish in the styrofoam container. The last portion of the class is going to be exactly what we do during a KCBS contest on a real time schedule plus some time in between to go over questions.

We recommend that everyone be right on time as the class is going to begin promptly at 8:00am and be ready to take notes. We have a lot to cover in just one day!

This class was great and worth every penny. The class is in no way a beginners class. I would take it again if offered.

Thanks Vincent and Alexa of Rhythm 'n Que for your time and effort in bringing this class to the Bay Area. Thanks Smitty and crew of Eggs By The Bay for hosting the class. And thanks for letting Rhythm 'n Que use WSMs. Ha.

If you haven't visited Eggs By The Bay, it may be worth your while. They have a lot of BBQ supplies and equipment on hand including sauces that you only read about and can't find any where else without spending lots of money on shipping.

I would like to thank all the CBBQA members who came out to our Rhythm 'n QUE class this past weekend. The BBQ classes are a popular facet of our business, thank you all for your support.

John, thanks for you kind words, we have tried to build the store that we ourselves would like to shop at.

[Bill Souza]

I would like to Thank Smitty and Eggs By the Bay Crew, and Vince and Alexa it was a great class from a Class Act...Rhythm n Que. Thank You! Glad we went and will be using what we learned soon.

[Chuck Collondrez]

I would like to thank Eggs By the Bay Smitty you have a great shop. I especially wnat to thank Vince and Alexa for the great class.

When is the next one?

[John Kelly]

Just plated up some spares which were barbequed using techniques learned at Rhythm 'n Que's competition class. The ribs are the juiciest ever. Tender with the right amount of pull. Not able to equal R & Q's, of course. Appearance was way off. But the ribs are the best I Q'd and in about half the time.

Cooked up some chicken earlier and that turned out great as well. Still needs some work, though. But, all-in-all, although it doesn't measure up to you competition cookers, it turned out very good.

Thank you R & Q and thank you Smitty.

I just wanted to say that the Left Hand Smoke "Fire it up!" Competition BBQ Team won its first event and GC of 2012 last weekend at the Washington State Spring BBQ Championship in Monroe, WA.

A PNWBA Sanctioned Event, with 37 Teams, 100% CBJ's in a No-Garnish cook.

Our only call was a 1st Place in Brisket (196.440)
7th Ribs
12th Pork
17th Chicken

I did not get a chance to practice what Vince & Alexa demonstrated in class, but some of the techniques and "nuggets of information" I brought back with me, definitely were in my pocket!

The Rhythm 'n Que class is not to be missed!

[Bill Souza]

Congrats! Brian it was good to meet you, that's the way to Rock It!
