Milestone Met!!!
This coming week will make a milestone achievment for me. In the last 8 years of BBQ teaching with the end of this coming week. I will have taught 700 classes and will go over 15,000 students on next Sunday's Smoking 101!! WOW! Thank you all for coming to classes and joining me in this awesome journey on learning about Smoking & Grilling. Scarier to think about how much meat was cooked for it all!
I am HUMBLED by these numbers and am truely gratefull to every single student that has taken a class both at the MBQI/CCKC and Smoke n Fire!
Thank you , sincerely!

Chef McPeake,
'Am doing a few ribs as this message is being typed! Yours-truly attended & observed 3 of the early classes @ CCKC nearly 8 years ago. The classes were gifts from my wife, who is a public educator & certfied home economist. The knowledge shared then continues to benefit my friends, several organizations occasionally, and my family! Some of my best accolades include comments, and titles that friends use when they ask me to smoke food for them. One child wants to only eat "Mikey meat". Several friends refer to me "chef-boy-r-Mikey"; and one vegan cousin callers me "the backyard bar-b-cutioneer!". The truth and value I continue to enjoy from those early lessons! Straight Ahead.

Thank you. I just took one of your classes at Smoke 'n' Fire this weekend and enjoyed it very much. I appreciate that you spend more time on the why aspect and not just the how. It gave me a better understanding of what I was doing and the approaches I should use when experimenting. I have been a graphic designer and know that like my profession, cooking is very subjective. However, as with any art form there are some parameters that should be set as a baseline and you did a good job of setting those lines. I now have your book and look forward to seeing what I can do with my smoker this season.
