Block to BBQ – From Whole Cuts to Flame-Ready Feasts
Get hands-on with the fire-ready fundamentals in this immersive BBQ butchery class. Guided by expert butcher Connor Ringrose, guests will learn how to break down and prepare a range of premium cuts perfect for the grill. You’ll start by mastering the technique of spatchcocking a whole chicken for even cooking and maximum flavour. Then, transform a pork shoulder into the classic pork butt, ideal for low-and-slow BBQ. Next, dive into beef as you craft juicy, hand-formed mince burgers and trim rich, flavourful short ribs for smoking or grilling. You’ll also explore additional cuts and tips that elevate backyard BBQ to chef-level skill. Whether you’re a home cook or a meat enthusiast, you’ll leave with practical butchery knowledge, grilling confidence, and a deep appreciation for every cut.
