That's awesome and a great deal!!!

Sure is. Wish it was closer, I would definately attend. Still might.

That would be a great class to attend. It would be some great insight into a great cook. Sure would make for a BBQ July. Three trips to the upstate and a trip to Columbia...all four weekends BBQ. Ole Blue Eyes might not buy that one...


Good Q!

Jack

!@#$* Charles! Why its have to be on July 3rd?! The wife and I already have commitments for the Independence Day weekend. Can somebody shot a video, documentary, or something? I reaaly hate we cannot attend.

Friends -

We're receiving numbers of entries daily for the cooking class Friday, July 3....if you plan to take the class...better get your application in ASAP. We're looking at cutting it off at 50.

Thanks for posting that Charlie, I gave out several entry forms to folks last weekend that gave a verbal commitment although they may reconsider after the way I scored at Tryon.

Last call for the que class July 3 in Greenwood hosted by the forum's own Charles Fretwell of BS Pitmeister. Extended cut off is tomorrow. Received 5 applications in the mail today...this is going to be fun!

Do not let that deadline scare you, you will be welcome at the door. I just needed a rough head count so I will know how much supplies, handout, and food, etc are needed. This is going to be a very intensive knowledge packed couple of hours. We will be inside in a classroom setting mostly and will cover the four main KCBS meats (chicken, ribs, boston butt, brisket) plus some things that are focused on the backyarder.
I look forward to seeing everyone!
Charles Fretwell

To get ANYTHING out of Charles is worth the money and it don't happen often. You folks get your money in and take advantage of the situation!
