How Much Do Barbecue Classes Cost?
If you want to know about barbecue education then take a look at Barbecue Classes Cost it’s a great idea! There are a variety of classes available with some offering “in person” instruction and others offering online learning opportunities. There are a lot of factors that go into deciding what barbecue class you should take including the cost of the class and travel as well as the type of material covered.
Let’s take a look at some of the options you have available!
Harry Soo Barbecue Class
Harry Soo is the pitmaster behind the award winning Slap Yo’ Daddy barbecue team. Harry is based in California and has a massive list of awards including many Team of The Year banners and over 27 Grand Championships. Harry was featured on BBQ Pitmasters where he famously won the rib battle is the Season Finale.
Harry’s classes are the best value of all of the “in person” classes that I have seen. Harry gives you six hours of instruction and limits the class size to 14 students so everyone gets individual attention.
The cost for Harry’s class is only $395 which makes it an amazing value. When calculating the full cost of the course you will also need to factor in transportation and a hotel room.

Myron Mixon Barbecue Class
Myron Mixon, The Winningest Man In Barbecue, offers classes at the Jack’s Old South Cooking School in Unadilla, Georgia.
Myron’s class starts on a Friday night and ends on Sunday afternoon. The class starts with Whole Hog and then covers brisket, pork, chicken and ribs. Myron says, “My school is for the novice, the enthusiast, and the trained chef, as well as for the BBQ competitor. The recipes are the same. The difference is who you’ll be feeding. Whether you’re serving BBQ judges, customers, or just friends and family, you’ll elevate your BBQ game at my class.”
The cost for Myron’s class is $795. When calculating the full cost of the course you will also need to factor in transportation and a hotel room.

Barbecue Classes From Tuffy Stone, Johnny Trigg and Melissa Cookston
Tuffy, Johnny and Melissa are absolute legends on the competition barbecue circuit and have occasionally taught some classes. The last numbers I saw from these folks were as follows:
- Tuffy Stone = $650
- Johnny Trigg = $700
- Melissa Cookston = $750
These pitmasters do not have regularly scheduled classes so I don’t have a good link to share with you. It’s worth the time to do a Google search for Tuffy and Melissa. Your best bet for finding a class from Johnny is to look him up on Facebook.
