Competition BBQ School ~ Competition BBQ Class
Many of our students have gone on to great
success, none have ever reported they they were not winning
trophies.. Konrad
cooking solo as BBQ Hog had a very successful year in 2010.
Including beating the reigning world champions, taking reserve
grand at the New York state championship and taking first
against the top teams in the country. Konrad has won
awards all over the US and Canada including in Texas.
Our most famous graduate is Harry Soo of
Slap Yo' Daddy BBQ
.
Harry has taken both our 2006 Pitmaster class and our 2008 competition
BBQ class. He is current appearing on
TLC's Pitmasters cable TV show.

We told Harry to takes Rod's class but he was
obsessed with winning the California "Rookie of the Year" title
and the timing did not work. So we did the class and Harry
won the trophy. He then took our advice and did Rod's
class.
As Chef Paul on the Pitmasters show has
discovered competition BBQ is a discipline all on its own.
My advice to all aspiring competitors is take a judging class and
then judge some contests as well.
DANGER WILL
ROBINSON
Competition BBQ can be an all time and all money
consuming addiction. The only difference between it and
hard drugs is that so far it's not illegal. The other
thing is Competition BBQ is meant to be one amazing bite.
That is different than an amazing BBQ meal. Our BBQ 101 or
151 is a far superior option if you never intend to compete.
Many of the top national teams are from Texas.
I've competed with them, walked and learned from them at the
invitation only world championship level. My first serious
training was with James and Lola Rice of Hico, Texas at there
famous 2003 class in Houston. It was a KCBS format class.
When I took Rod's class it had Texans in it. The smart
Texans know that KCBS is BBQ learning central and take those
lessons and apply them to Texas competitions. As the
busiest BBQ Instructor in Texas in 2010 my students took what I
taught them and did very well in Texas competitions. This is a
KCBS format class with full consideration given to Texas
Competition rules and format.
Konrad judged the big San Antonio cook-off in
January 2010. The winners of the 2010 Texas state
championship in Bedford are old friends of Konrad's from their
days of KCBS competition. Konrad Also successfully
competed in San Marcos in 2011.
Couples means Married or Long Term Romantic Relationship.
Family members and team mates do not qualify.
