MISSION
The idea to host BBQ clinics came from the fact that there is so much misinformation out there preventing you from nailing what should ultimately be a pretty simple cook. With the price of brisket rocketing, you can't really afford to throw over £100 down the drain every time you try and perfect the dark arts. So we have taken the hit for you, experiencing numerous shattered dreams and temper tantrums in pursuit of refining our techniques to produce consistently great barbecue.
​
Our clinics will train you in the Bonaparte Barbecue philosophy of master the fundamentals and the rest will take care of itself. We don't use a binder, we don't inject, we don't spritz. You know why? Because it will not make any difference to the final product. In fact, it will detract from it. But selecting the right meat, trimming correctly, seasoning simply, achieving stable temps, not peeking, and pulling to touch, will ensure that you reach barbecue heaven.
​
On the Bonaparte Barbecue Clinic we will take you through our ten stage strategy with military precision, guiding you from the moment you wake up and light those coals to when your guests sit down in front of a barbecue feast.

TESTIMONIALS
"Had such a great day at the Bonaparte Barbecue Clinic. Really stripped everything back to basics and has made me much more confident to have a go at cooking brisket again. Making sausages was also a first! It was a really fun vibe, enjoying a few beers whilst absorbing all the info. Food was phenomenal. Brisket and ribs were so juicy. And I'm now a convert to grits! Also loved all the sauces and pickles which I'd never have thought to make before."

"The clinic was amazing and a very informative day; I'll definitely recommend the course to anybody in the future. The brisket was insanely good. Can't wait to use your recipe pack to recreate it all!"

"Thanks so much guys, I had such a great day yesterday… It’s rare you get to learn a whole new skill and I feel you really immersed us in your world… you’re really talented! I don’t know whether it was the wait and watching the food sat there, or whether it was just so artfully cooked, but it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time!"

"Bonaparte Barbecue’s clinic is the best food course I’ve done. They are so knowledgeable, and with the small groups you can really get stuck in. Be prepared to gorge on some amazing BBQ, would recommend to anyone."

"A hugely informative, insightful and passionate pitmaster! The day was great fun and we left stuffed. Brisket, ribs and hot links were all impeccable, the beers went down a treat, and I'll be making the green chili slaw for many BBQs to come. No danger of that Bonaparte special being exiled from my menu!"
