Hi Konrad, it was a real pleasure to meet you and take your class. Last
weekend my wife bought me a new 22" WSM and I really love it. On Sunday
I cooked up a great brisket, some baby backs and a slab of spare ribs. My
son comes over every Sunday for dinner and this time he said in all the
years I have made barbeque this was the first time that it tasted like it
was made in a restaraunt. For him that is a real compliment! I sent him
home with 1/2 a brisket and most of the ribs and 1/2 of your lemon cake.
Thanks again, I got way more than my money's worth.
Cheers!

Konrad,
Just wanted to drop a little note thanking you for a very informative
class. I learned much and can't wait to put this knowledge to work.
Thanks,

Konrad,

information.
Thank you,
Tom K March 2010
The class was a real
eye-opener. I already have some of the meat prepped for this weekend,
incorporating many of the new things learned on March 6th. Let's hope I
got the good brisket I think I did!
Thanks again, Konrad!

Konrad,
My buddy and I took your BBQ class about a year and a half ago in San Diego. We
flew out from Phoenix. I come from a proud Central / West Texas BBQ family but
could never quite get it right. Well, almost two years later and a couple tons
of meat later I am the Pit Master of Smokin Aces BBQ
www.smokinacesbarbeque.com I provide BBQ to a number local caterers and
special events. It is a wonderful thing to put smiles on peoples faces.
Thanks for everything.

First Contest
Konrad
We went to our 1st cook off this weekend. There were 67 teams. We placed 4th in
Chicken and 5th in Brisket. We made the final table in Ribs but didn't place.
The competition checklist you sent me was very helpful, we took everything we
needed and didn't forget anything. Your classes were very helpful as well as
your advice from when we went shopping.
Thanks again.

I came to Konrad's class a very
average backyard griller with no experience using a smoker.
Konrad was not only very knowledgeable in his class he was
also very approachable and answered any question without
making you feel bad about how amateur it was. In the 6
weeks since the class I've fed 150 people for Thanksgiving
and Christmas and took some to work and neighbors. Everyone
has given great complements and I have even received quite a
few "best I've ever had" complements. This class
basically escalated me through what would take most
people years of hard knocks BBQ to learn on their own in a
very short period of time. Konrad even helped me in
an e-mail with a question weeks after the class. He's very
good people.

Wondering if you plan on offering a class this year in
Austin, TX ?
I attended your class two years ago. Learned a ton, and
would like to get a refresher and bring along a friend or two.
Thanks

We own all of these and
consider them great reading and viewing.
Legends of
Texas Barbecue Cookbook by Robb Walsh is a must read for the history of
Texas barbecue. As a competition cook we know the pages are filled
with nuggets of winning advice.
Barbecue: A Texas Love Story is a DVD worth watching about the great Texas
BBQ restaurants. The LBJ Cookbook and Pit Pot and Skillet are both out
of print. LBJ is long on history and short on recipes but the few in
there are good. Pit, Pot and Skillet is full of recipes.
