Backyard Pitmasters Brings Its Celebrated BBQ Classes to Oklahoma
Expanding its Reach to 14 US Markets, the Texas-Based Company is Set to Train Oklahoma BBQ Enthusiasts in the Art of Smoking Backyard BBQ
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Backyard Pitmasters, the largest operator of barbecue classes in the United States, proudly announces its expansion into Oklahoma, offering its "barbecue university" style classes in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. BrisketU®, the flagship course designed to turn everyday grillers into adept pitmasters, will launch its first Oklahoma City area session at The Big Friendly on Sunday, April 7th. These sessions are set to take place almost every weekend throughout the year, providing ample opportunity for BBQ enthusiasts to join the experience.
Founded on the principles of fun, education, and community, Backyard Pitmasters demystifies the art of smoking meat. "We have created and perfected a welcoming environment where anyone can learn the secrets of great BBQ, away from the pressures of competition. Pairing craft beer with craft BBQ, our classes are about enjoying the process as much as the results," says co-founder Mike Albrecht.
BrisketU stands as the cornerstone of Backyard Pitmasters' offerings, with a curriculum that addresses every aspect of smoking brisket – from meat selection and preparation to the nuances of smoking and slicing. Taught by seasoned pitmasters, these 3-hour classes cater to both beginners and seasoned grillers. Beyond brisket, the company offers specialized courses like RibsU®, ChickensU®, TurkeyU®, and SeafoodU®, emphasizing the joys of live-fire cooking across a variety of proteins.
The move into Oklahoma City marks the 14th market for Backyard Pitmasters, underscoring the rapidly growing interest in backyard BBQ. With over 50,000 class “Alumni” nationwide, the classes have fostered a community of BBQ lovers. In Oklahoma, classes will be led by Tony Bolding, a BrisketU pitmaster known for his deep expertise and engaging teaching style.
Partnerships with local breweries in the Greater Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas enhance the class experience, blending education with social enjoyment. "We are excited to bring Tony and BrisketU to The Big Friendly to pair great beer and great food in the middle of a fun learning experience with new friends." comments Joe Quinlin, founder and co-owner of The Big Friendly brewery in Oklahoma City.
