Southern Thunder BBQ Cooking School will host our first "Grill with the Pros" class of the 2026 school year on Saturday, May 9th, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM. Whether you're grilling in your backyard, out in the woods, tailgating before the big game, or cooking up a storm at a family picnic, "Grill with the Pros" is your ticket to becoming the go-to grill master.

In this fun, fast-paced, and flavor-packed four-hour session, you'll get hands-on experience with a wide range of grilling styles and gear. Students will prep and grill multiple flavors of chicken wings, sausages, barbecue chicken, glazed center-cut pork chops, and steakhouse-style top sirloin filets. We’ll even fire up Dutch ovens for some amazing spoon bread and cobblers.

All tools, ingredients, and methods will be provided, so you can learn to grill confidently on whatever setup you have at home (or at camp). To learn more, visit:
