AJ’s Pit Bar B Q is consistently voted 1 of the top 3 BBQ restaurants in Denver every year. Started by Amanda & Jared Leonard 4 years ago, this hot spot was a transplant of their original BBQ joint, Rub’s Backcountry Smokehouse; where they served award-winning BBQ and taught classes to thousands of BBQ enthusiasts over the 8 years they operated in Chicago. In his love for all things wood-fired, Jared sought to invite Colorado to experience his same passion when their family moved to Colorado in 2017. He has opened several wood-fired concepts throughout Denver and in Evergreen, and now is turning his focus towards teaching others how to become masters of slow-cooking with wood.
Come learn the most delicious and successful ways to slow-cook Texas Style BBQ from the award-winning Pitmasters at AJ’s Pit Bar B Q. This class is for the novice, the enthusiast and the trained chef; as well as the BBQ competitor. Be fully immersed into the world of BBQ as we teach you the techniques of slow-cooking in various smokers, meat preparation & sourcing, rubs, sauces, and the secrets of making BBQ in the backyard, for the judges and for thousands! Guests eat throughout this timeframe, enjoying ribs, brisket, pork and scratch made sides for the entire 3 hours. This experience is hands-on. Come prepared to trim a brisket, if you'd like, prep a pork shoulder, or simply walk away full of delicious smoked BBQ and the recipes to do it all at home.
