It's a great class. I took it years ago. It literally took 5 years off my trial & error.... OK, mostly error.
I learned to make my own rubs using ingredients/spices that I love.
Previous to taking the class I was inconsistent. I've always grilled & BBQed (smoke/slow cook) for large family, church & school groups. Once I understood how to pick the meat, how to trim, how to season, what temps to use & time. etc the results were very consistent and predictable.
I have several of Chef Paul cook books. I really like '500 barbeque dishes'. The grilled bananas with his butterscotch sauce... Man! That's some good stuff!
By the way, those old enough to know of Julie Childs... Chef Paul was the BBQ Chef on her cook team.
