BBQ Boot Camp a Success

Over 100 participants attended our first BBQ Boot Camp held on July 23 at the Williston Research Extension Center.

Everyone who attended received tips about barbecuing and current topics in the pork, beef and lamb industry. The group of attendees was divided into five different teaching stations. Topics covered were:

Grilling
Testing for Doneness
Slow Barbecuing and Smoking
Food Safety & Wine Sampling
Rubs, Marinades and Seasonings

BBQ Boot Camp is a collaborative effort of NDSU meat scientists, NDSU food science faculty, the NDSU Department of Animal Science and the NDSU Extension Service.
